Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Jarrian Jones at pick 98. The Steelers jumped the board by 38 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in the 20th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in pick No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at slot 84, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
A wild overpay on Jarrian Jones in pick 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
