Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Steelers won the night they stopped Chestnut from sliding. Grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Duce Chestnut slides to No. 239, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The veteran additions, Jalen Ramsey chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They did well to land J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 50, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 61st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A quiet steal in pick 118: Tommy Eichenberg for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A tidy bit of business in No. 196, where T.J. Sanders graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They barely believed it either: Duce Chestnut still on the board at the 239th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
