Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

Start where it matters. The Steelers took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Baker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 26th pick they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 D.J. James
No drama and no debate, D.J. James went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 2. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Blake Fisher in No. 112. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 121 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 199th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson slid further than he should have, and pick 242 is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
