Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Jalil Farooq, 26 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Thieneman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 17th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Thieneman in pick 53. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 76th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 J.C. Davis
Value said wait; J.C. Davis in Round 3, Pick 35 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots to take Logan Jones, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in No. 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 142nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brett Norfleet. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalil Farooq this early at No. 219. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
