Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Spencer Rattler. He came off 35 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in slot 51, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Spencer Rattler in the 84th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Fair-plus on Cedric Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
