Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Call it larceny. Adonai Mitchell sat on the board until the Round 2 slot, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Limmer pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 22 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 19, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The board had Jeremiah Trotter Jr. higher than the 84th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at slot 119 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the 120th pick on Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 161 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 35. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Fair-plus on M.J. Devonshire, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
