Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent No. 53 on Cade Klubnik, a name the board had a full 41 spots lower.

The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Lew pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Cade Klubnik
They reached into another round for Cade Klubnik, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Barber
They paid a round early for Austin Barber in slot 76, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Connor Lew, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at pick No. 99 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A quiet steal in the 121st pick: Earl Little Jr. for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Carson Beck
They will replay Carson Beck at the 135th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 159th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at slot 214 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
No drama and no debate, Rasheem Biles went about where he belonged in pick No. 215. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 James Smith
James Smith in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
They barely believed it either: Jackson Arnold still on the board at pick 237. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
