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

You build a draft on nights like this. Andru Phillips had no business being available in pick No. 198, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Powers-Johnson is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

McCaffrey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A clean, defensible pick in the 43rd pick with a little surplus value in Tyler Guyton. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 52 on Jackson Powers-Johnson, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick74 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in slot 110. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 120th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Value with a capital V on Joe Milton III in pick 176, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They let Ethan Driskell come to them and pounced at the 196th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 209 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
