Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Khristian Boyd a full 67 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wallace. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 29 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 51st overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in pick 61 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at Round 3, Pick 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 98th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 119 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Crumedy in Round 6, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the 195th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
