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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Steelers walked right past.

They are betting Phillips proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Corley a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andru Phillips this early at slot 84. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 98 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Spencer Rattler. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick 178 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They jumped the gun on Logan Lee, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
