Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 162 lands the Steelers a B+, Shough and all.

Whoever sat across the table from the Steelers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Shough. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A clean, defensible pick in slot 83 with a little surplus value in Tai Felton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in the 90th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in pick 123, and they pounced on premier safety value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at Round 5, Pick 24. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid up for Teddye Buchanan at the 223rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They went early on Donovan Smith in No. 229, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick No. 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
