Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Clark where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Goncalves pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 26th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They read the board right and Quinyon Mitchell was the payoff at the 45th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 69 is lovely value for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid a round early for Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Javon Foster with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 121, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid sticker price for Khristian Boyd in slot 160, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 171, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
