Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C- for the Steelers.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Samson Okunlola, 378 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.

Maiava at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Hit on Samson Okunlola and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Samson Okunlola
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection.
Pick47 Rnd2 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in pick 47 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A conviction pick on Malachi Fields at No. 77 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christen Miller
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Christen Miller reach the 78th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 99th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Anto Saka
A straight-up fair deal on Anto Saka at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
They reached a country mile for Tanner Koziol at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Michael Harris
Michael Harris in pick No. 156 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kendrick Law
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kendrick Law. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at pick 214 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Emmanuel Karnley
They talked themselves into Emmanuel Karnley at Round 7, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Hollywood Smothers
They will replay Hollywood Smothers at No. 229 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
