Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Steelers did not so much draft Marist Liufau as overpay for him, 38 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 31st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid a round early for Kingsley Suamataia in the 51st pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Melton
They paid up for Max Melton at pick No. 63 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They read the board right and Tykee Smith was the payoff at the 176th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 178 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A tidy little value on M.J. Devonshire in Round 6, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 251 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
