Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Steelers let DeJean fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cooper DeJean fell into slot 60. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

It is not that Fisher is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The cost of the Fisher reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in pick 42. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the 60th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A reach on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 63; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Blake Fisher while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the 119th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
