Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Mendoza is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The Steelers spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

If Coogan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On value alone, Robinson makes the weekend a net positive. The Campbell pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher still on the board.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 31st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at slot 40 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in pick 45 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They read the board right and Michael Taaffe was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 17. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Fields at the 95th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They took D'Angelo Ponds at par in No. 104, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
No drama and no debate, DJ McKinney went about where he belonged in pick No. 122. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 132nd pick on DJ Campbell with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher unsolved.
Pick156 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at Round 5, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in pick 158 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis is a better player than No. 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at slot 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Somehow Duce Robinson was still sitting there in pick No. 179, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in slot 193 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten slipping to No. 210 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Makhi Hughes in pick 216. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
No edge and no loss on Lawson Luckie in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They paid sticker price for Fernando Carmona in the 254th overall pick, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elliot Washington II. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
