Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureD
The board sent warnings the Steelers ignored, and it shows: D+.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 1, Pick 30 on Tony Rojas a full 322 spots early. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They banked enough surplus on Fano to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tony Rojas
In the 30th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kage Casey
In pick No. 32 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jeremiyah Love
A running back of that caliber at No. 62 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaac Smith
They reached a country mile for Isaac Smith at slot 76, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Nice patience on Ian Strong, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
They barely believed it either: Mikail Kamara still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Thomas Collins
They talked themselves into Thomas Collins at pick No. 171, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in slot 179 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Spencer Fano
Steal is underselling it; Spencer Fano at pick 210 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Denver Harris
Value said wait; Denver Harris in Round 7, Pick 30 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
