Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 195: the Steelers steal McCaffrey and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Luke McCaffrey slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 195. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If King pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Adding Isaiah Wynn by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A clean, defensible pick in slot 40 with a little surplus value in Troy Franklin. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in pick 100. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kalen King
They jumped the gun on Kalen King, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
The board fumbled Sione Vaki all the way to the 178th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 195th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
