Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Dart. Final grade: C+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jaxson Dart fell into pick No. 229. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Martin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Hit on Jonah Savaiinaea and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
A big swing on Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 21, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 83rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nick Martin
A real head-scratcher, Nick Martin in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 156 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick No. 185 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
They robbed the room for Jaxson Dart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
