Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Jagusah: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Charles Jagusah got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at slot 213.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If Freeling pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The J.J. McCarthy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Brandon Cisse
In the 21st pick they get a sticky cover corner, even if it was a touch early.
Pick53 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They went early on Lee Hunter in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A tidy little value on Malachi Fields in pick 74, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in Round 3, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Circle this one: Zakee Wheatley at No. 99 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A straight-up fair deal on Zachariah Branch at pick No. 104, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the 121st overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Steal is underselling it; Drew Allar at slot 159 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
They robbed the room for Charles Jagusah here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Keem Jackson
A reach on Ja'Keem Jackson in the 237th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
