Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent No. 123 on Jonah Monheim, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower.

The Wease pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
A conviction pick on Tyler Nubin at the 18th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid up for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 50 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They paid sticker price for Zach Frazier in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 123 on Jonah Monheim with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick196 Rnd6 Theo Wease
The board fumbled Theo Wease all the way to the 196th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A wild overpay on Devin Leary in Round 7, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
