Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a A-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Moose Muhammad III a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. It is not that Haynes is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They banked enough surplus on Franklin to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In the end it comes back to Troy Fautanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 18 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josh Newton
No edge and no loss on Josh Newton in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Christian Haynes in pick 82 leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots for later.
Pick118 Rnd4 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at the 123rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick No. 166 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in the 196th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray slipping to the 207th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in No. 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Erick All
A reach on Erick All in pick 239; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
