Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureD
The Steelers found their guy under center in Daniels: F.

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It bottoms out at a F.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They will need Eichenberg to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with interior defensive lineman still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 4th pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in No. 120: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Value said wait; Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 121 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They did well to land Tahj Washington in pick 197, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at the 222nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bub Means
They talked themselves into Bub Means at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
