Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging. They are betting Means proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick64 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 84 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Davis a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 121st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kalen King
They paid sticker price for Kalen King in pick No. 133, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in No. 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bub Means
Value said wait; Bub Means in slot 238 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
