Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-

FutureB-
A franchise passer in Dart headlines a B- weekend for the Steelers. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Steelers committed. Jaxson Dart is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
The Dart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
Fair-plus on Kyle Kennard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
