Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let McGowan fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Seth McGowan slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
The board had Akheem Mesidor higher than the 53rd overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
They took Garrett Nussmeier at par in pick 76, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Steal is underselling it; Derrick Moore at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at Round 3, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in the 121st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at slot 135 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
The board fumbled Aaron Anderson all the way to slot 216, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Seth McGowan
Taking Seth McGowan in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 J'Mari Taylor
Somehow J'Mari Taylor was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cole Payton
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cole Payton in the 237th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
