Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B+.

The Ollie Gordon II selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 54 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 31 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reach for Trey Amos in the 38th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ollie Gordon II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ West. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
