Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Dart is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B-.

The Steelers spent the pick that matters most on Jaxson Dart, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Dart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Ayomanor pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 21 they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor is a better player than the 83rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 156th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 185 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at Round 7, Pick 13 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
