Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Blake Watson, 63 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

King at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In pick No. 23 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kalen King
They robbed the room for Kalen King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the 113th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A straight-up fair deal on Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 172, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at No. 178 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A real head-scratcher, Blake Watson in No. 201 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
Taking Aki Ogunbiyi in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
