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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Shipley tumbling to the Steelers in the 178th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 20th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 119 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 143 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick178 Rnd6 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in slot 178 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid a round early for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 195th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
