Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jaxson Dart is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop.

On value alone, Noel makes the weekend a net positive. The Pegues pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 21 they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the 83rd overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
You do not let a wide receiver like Jaylin Noel reach slot 123 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They read the board right and Quincy Riley was the payoff at the 185th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick No. 229 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
