Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If McCaffrey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in slot 23, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than Round 2, Pick 19 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 84 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 98, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke McCaffrey this early at pick No. 120. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A curious use of the 129th pick. Quarterback, safety and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Christian Jones did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 158th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick No. 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick184 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They jumped the gun on Justin Rogers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in Round 6, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
