Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Jaxson Dart at the 201st overall pick is 37 spots clear of where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots. The Mitchell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They paid a round early for Nate Wiggins in the 27th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 55 with a little surplus value in Kris Jenkins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and pick No. 90 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Value with a capital V on Danny Stutsman in pick 113, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 23 on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaxson Dart
A wild overpay on Jaxson Dart in Round 6, Pick 26, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jack Howell
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Howell at slot 244, value and slot in agreement. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
