Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The DJ Giddens selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Ransom makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In slot 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They jumped the gun on Zy Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
They talked themselves into DJ Giddens at the 132nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at pick 170 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in Round 7, Pick 13 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
