Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Gabe Hall went at No. 195, a good 28 picks before the board was ready.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Fisher pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots.

On value alone, Lassiter makes the weekend a net positive. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, reach and all.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Value with a capital V on Kamari Lassiter in No. 51, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A reach for Malik Washington in slot 84; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 98th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A curious use of pick 119. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Blake Fisher did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Curtis Jacobs well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in pick 195, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
