Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD+
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Delmar Glaze, 91 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Landing Taylor-Demerson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Glaze pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 26th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 52 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slid further than he should have, and No. 76 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Payton Wilson reach slot 84 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Delmar Glaze
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 26: Delmar Glaze adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 114th pick on Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A wild overpay on Luke McCaffrey in Round 4, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 198 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aaron Lewis this early at pick No. 238. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
