Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Steelers won the night they stopped Fisher from sliding. Grade: D.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

On value alone, Fisher makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 17th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 85th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dominick Puni at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in slot 121: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at pick 155 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A tidy little value on Demani Richardson in Round 7, Pick 22, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
