Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA+
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Gabe Hall, taking him 44 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 52, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in the 67th overall pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson is a better player than No. 119 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick163 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in pick 166 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in slot 198. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 7, Pick 21 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They robbed the room for Zakhari Franklin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
