Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Khristian Boyd pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 68 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Fisher.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Fair-plus on Xavier Worthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in pick 84: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A tidy bit of business in the 90th pick, where Andru Phillips graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A wild overpay on Cedric Gray in pick No. 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 104 on Mason McCormick with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the 119th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They talked themselves into Jaden Crumedy at the 178th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
A conviction pick on Jalen Coker at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
