Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Lacy: A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Kyren Lacy slide 91 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In the end it comes back to Jahdae Barron, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Sanders at slot 53 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
A tidy bit of business in the 72nd pick, where Jaxson Dart graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at the 83rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aireontae Ersery in pick 92, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 120 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the 225th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to pick 231, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in No. 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
