Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C to match.

Some picks age like wine; Jordan Jefferson at the Round 2 slot will need to, sitting 133 spots clear of his grade. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
In the 20th pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 51, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at the 84th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Pratt well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A big swing on Isaiah Adams at slot 119, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at Round 6, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195 Rnd6 Matt Lee
A wild overpay on Matt Lee in Round 6, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
