Draft Grade — Steelers

The Steelers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C+. 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. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Dart lower, and that gap is the story.
On the needs board they went 2 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.
Hit on Jaxson Dart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 2 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick21
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In the 21st pick they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
