Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 176 lands the Steelers a B-, Fifita and all.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Noah Fifita, the No. 140 name on the board, in the 176th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at the 46th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Semaj Morgan
They paid up for Semaj Morgan at pick No. 78 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 John Mateer
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where John Mateer graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Isaiah Augustave
You do not let a running back like Isaiah Augustave reach slot 114 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in pick 133; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ja'Keem Jackson
A wild overpay on Ja'Keem Jackson in No. 153, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita at the 176th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Riley Williams
Riley Williams in the 192nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at slot 211 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 DeVonta Smith
No drama and no debate, DeVonta Smith went about where he belonged in pick 227. The roster fit checks out.
