Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C to match.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 215 spots for Xzavier Henderson, and value like that does not grow back.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dart. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xzavier Henderson
Value said wait; Xzavier Henderson in the 52nd overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick 83 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Ja'Quinden Jackson in slot 122 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hunter Wohler this early at the 163rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jaxson Dart in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Chandler Martin
They talked themselves into Chandler Martin at pick No. 231, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 247th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
