Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody else had Jaden Crumedy anywhere near pick No. 178. The Steelers did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. McGregor at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 51st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A want over a need in slot 98: Roger Rosengarten adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at pick 119. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Crumedy in No. 178, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Steal is underselling it; Braiden McGregor at the 195th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
