Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Magee fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 21 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Deebo Samuel deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King is a better player than slot 52 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 84th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They paid sticker price for Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 19, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Fair-plus on Isaiah Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the 241st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
