Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 84 on Curtis Jacobs a full 113 spots early. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Puni pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jonathon Brooks
In the 20th overall pick they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in pick No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 84 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 19 with a little surplus value in Elijah Jones. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in the 178th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaton Bills in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
