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

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If McCaffrey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in the 119th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A conviction pick on Cole Bishop at slot 120 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick 198 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They let Steele Chambers come to them and pounced at No. 241. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
