Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Simpson. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Jaylin Simpson, the No. 137 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 178th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 19 on Sedrick Van Pran with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at the 84th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They read the board right and Jaden Hicks was the payoff at slot 98. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Value said wait; Ainias Smith in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They paid sticker price for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 146, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in the 174th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at the 178th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 221 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
