Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

It is not that Goncalves is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in the 51st pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in pick No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 98th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Matt Goncalves at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Jarrian Jones at pick 119, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 195 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 28. The roster fit checks out.
