Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Dart, and a D, for the Steelers.

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The cost of the James reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 31st pick they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
No drama and no debate, Quinshon Judkins went about where he belonged in No. 63. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They paid a round early for Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 19, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 123 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick 156 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
The board had cheaper options than Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid up for Shemar James at the 229th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
