Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Suamataia: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kingsley Suamataia had no business being available in the 84th pick, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 51st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They read the board right and Jaden Hicks was the payoff at pick 98. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Nothing to complain about; Braiden McGregor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at No. 195 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
