Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Fitzgerald: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, No. 257, roughly 139 picks past where he belonged.

The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Pat Surtain II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They paid sticker price for Emeka Egbuka in Round 1, Pick 22, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 52nd overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Steal is underselling it; Willie Lampkin at pick 201 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
No edge and no loss on Theo Wease Jr. in the 220th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A big swing on KJ Jefferson at slot 231, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at No. 257 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
