Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Christian Jones, taking him 78 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The Justin Fields pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 20 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 28. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Christian Jones in pick No. 119 leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 120 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They took De'Corian Clark at par in the 198th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A quiet steal in pick 241: Steele Chambers for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylon Carlies. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
