Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Brady Cook at pick 229 is 60 spots clear of where he belonged.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They reached into another round for Jayden Higgins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 83rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 123 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at the 185th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 13 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
