Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaden Crumedy; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 47 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 3. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andru Phillips. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 119 on Mason McCormick with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick142 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A real head-scratcher, Khristian Boyd in the 142nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in Round 5, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 178, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A conviction pick on Jalen Coker at the 240th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
