Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 25 spots for Jordan Phillips, and value like that does not grow back.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jeanty. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick 83 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They read the board right and Joshua Farmer was the payoff at No. 123. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Nice patience on Tyler Shough, who had no business lasting to the 156th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 9, where Ajani Cornelius graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock slid further than he should have, and pick No. 229 is lovely value for the safety. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
