Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Dart is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B+.

Nobody else had Will Rogers anywhere near slot 245. The Steelers did, by 94 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They banked enough surplus on Bowman Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Everything downstream of Jaxson Dart depends on Jaxson Dart, and the building knows it. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In slot 23 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in Round 4, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 122, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 136 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in pick No. 158, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at pick 161 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They took Miles Frazier at par in pick No. 229, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Will Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Will Rogers in slot 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
