Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: B-.

When a board-topper like Jack Kiser slides to slot 245, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at No. 52 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in the 83rd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They barely believed it either: Maxwell Hairston still on the board at slot 116. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick 161 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at pick No. 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
