Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Puni pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Vaki.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dominick Puni adds an offensive lineman and leaves interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in slot 119 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A slide stopped in pick 174, with Sione Vaki worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamal Hadden in pick No. 178. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at slot 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
