Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B+
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesC
FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Steelers. Nobody had Trajan Jeffcoat this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 106 spots to get him at the 197th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
The Simpson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
They did well to land Malik Nabers in pick No. 11, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34
Rnd2
JC Latham
JC Latham at the 34th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They barely believed it either: Kool-Aid McKinstry still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in slot 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at No. 87 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Value with a capital V on Cole Bishop in pick 120, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 121st pick on Dominick Puni with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick137
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 188th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Trajan Jeffcoat
They talked themselves into Trajan Jeffcoat at pick No. 197, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 7, Pick 18, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
