Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Jaden Crumedy, 47 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barton. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

If Tyler Guyton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 28 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Graham Barton, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen McMillan
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McMillan in Round 2, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They took Andru Phillips at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Audric Estime at pick 119 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They reached into another round for Jaden Crumedy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in Round 6, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
