The Steelers robbed the room for Ali. Final grade: A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Steelers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
Getting Ali where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is not that Suamataia is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
In the end it comes back to Jackson Powers-Johnson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Kingsley Suamataia in the 55th overall pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick84
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A want over a need in No. 84: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 2 on Zak Zinter with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 103 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Cowing went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at the 105th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton in pick 107 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
No drama and no debate, Kris Abrams-Draine went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 19. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Fair-plus on Tommy Eichenberg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 172nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
No edge and no loss on Michael Barrett in No. 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in slot 198. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Williams at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at the 223rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick No. 241 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
