Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Khristian Boyd at pick No. 119 regardless, 58 picks early.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 20 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
