Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Smith-Wade from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 168 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Laumea pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in Round 2, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in pick No. 84 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick 120 on Sataoa Laumea, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at slot 121 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the 197th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 238 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
