Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Giles Jackson, 60 picks early at the 245th pick.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Darien Porter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darien Porter in No. 52, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nice patience on Smael Mondon Jr., who had no business lasting to the 121st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A wild overpay on Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 161, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
They talked themselves into Giles Jackson at slot 245, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
