Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesD- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: C+.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The final tally is a middling C+.

Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A tidy little value on Andru Phillips in pick No. 84, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 98 on Roger Rosengarten with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 119 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A conviction pick on Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
