Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Wallace: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caedan Wallace got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 195th pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Gray pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. It is not that Barton is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 26 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A want over a need in pick No. 33: Graham Barton adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in No. 84 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 89 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They will replay Andru Phillips at Round 3, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 119th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A top-tier running back at a bargain, MarShawn Lloyd in the 125th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They barely believed it either: Caedan Wallace still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They robbed the room for Tahj Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
