Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Steelers let Davis fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Steelers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Davis falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Steelers indulged a want in Fisher while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, with Xavier Legette leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 16, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
By-the-book stuff, Jalen McMillan at No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at slot 102 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in pick 113. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
They liked James Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 118. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in the 151st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at slot 154, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Taking Isaiah Davis in Round 7, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
