Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Hadden: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kamal Hadden had no business being available in No. 248, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Proctor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while tight end went begging. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A big swing on Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in No. 60. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A curious use of pick No. 84. Tight end needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Blake Fisher did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andru Phillips. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 119 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They jumped the gun on Jordan Travis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They liked Braiden McGregor enough to skip the value, taking him in the 163rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
They read the board right and Dillon Johnson was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
