Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 121st overall pick on Drake Nugent a full 28 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Nugent is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 120th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Drake Nugent at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They read the board right and Javon Baker was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 23. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They reached a country mile for Ja'Had Carter at pick No. 238, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
