Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Wallace fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Caedan Wallace had no business being available in the 178th overall pick, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Eichenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 20th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 19: Braden Fiske for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Renardo Green
The board fumbled Renardo Green all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 119 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in the 178th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tahj Washington at slot 195. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
