Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Jared Wiley. He came off 72 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mike Sainristil. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Nice patience on Kris Jenkins, who had no business lasting to No. 58. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 84th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the 98th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 119th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Mason McCormick in slot 128 leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in the 134th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They liked Trente Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 3. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Jefferson in pick 195. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
