Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent pick No. 229 on Thor Griffith, a name the board had a full 69 spots lower.

Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They let Kaleb Johnson come to them and pounced at the 56th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Fair-plus on Darien Porter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in pick No. 156 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
Value said wait; CJ West in the 185th pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in slot 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
