Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD FutureB+
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Steelers a C+, Smith-Wade and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Chau Smith-Wade slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery.

They are betting Coker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 29 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at No. 61 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They reached a country mile for Andru Phillips at Round 3, Pick 20, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They will replay Sataoa Laumea at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at slot 174 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A tidy little value on Braiden McGregor in the 178th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 184 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Coker in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
