Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureD
The Steelers found their guy under center in Sanders: C+.

The Steelers spent the pick that matters most on Shedeur Sanders, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

That Skattebo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Jauan Jennings by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Hit on Shedeur Sanders and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 11 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 83rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slid further than he should have, and the 113th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A slide stopped in No. 156, with Quincy Riley worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jalen Rivers
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jalen Rivers reach Round 6, Pick 9 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They let R.J. Mickens come to them and pounced at pick No. 227. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in slot 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
