Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Teddye Buchanan at slot 162, a reach of 73 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 21st overall pick they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They liked Jaylin Noel enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 83. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 162nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
They read the board right and Phil Mafah was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jason Marshall Jr. still on the board at pick 229. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Hawes at the 245th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
