Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers let Hartman fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Sam Hartman sat on the board until pick No. 241, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Zinter pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots. If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zak Zinter while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick 119 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A reach for Luke McCaffrey in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Fair-plus on Frank Gore Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They jumped the gun on Jalen Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in pick No. 204, just ahead of his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board fumbled Sam Hartman all the way to pick 241, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
