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

Nobody else had Jaden Crumedy anywhere near slot 178. The Steelers did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The McGregor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 84 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 98th pick on Roger Rosengarten with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 19 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in No. 178 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They robbed the room for Braiden McGregor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
