Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B for the Steelers.

Start where it matters. The Steelers took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The Singer pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in the 92nd pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
The board had cheaper options than Seth McLaughlin at Round 4, Pick 9, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
They did well to land Max Melton in pick No. 125, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dorian Singer
Somehow Dorian Singer was still sitting there in the 194th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick 237 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
