Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They banked enough surplus on Barron to cover a lot of smaller sins. Shough has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaleb Johnson in Round 2, Pick 31. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in the 67th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A wild overpay on Tyler Shough in pick 123, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at slot 156 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 185 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 229th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
