Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Steelers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Royals proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in Round 3, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
