Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.

The Goncalves pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in pick No. 51; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached a country mile for Maason Smith at pick 92, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A surprising call. With safety, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent No. 98 on Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 119th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 179th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in pick No. 195; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
