Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 117 spots for Cornelius Johnson, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
They did well to land Cooper DeJean in the 20th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 16, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Davis at No. 84, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 119, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taulia Tagovailoa. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
A big swing on Cornelius Johnson at No. 241, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
