Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Blake Fisher, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Fisher pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, safety and other spots.

If Brian Thomas Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 51st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They paid sticker price for Andru Phillips in slot 98, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at Round 4, Pick 19. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in No. 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A reasonable price with a little left over, M.J. Devonshire in the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
