Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesC+
FutureA
The Steelers let Wallace fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Caedan Wallace tumbling to the Steelers in the 248th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They will need Boyd to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots went begging.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at pick No. 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 65 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at the 84th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Max Melton
They robbed the room for Max Melton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
Christian Jones
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Christian Jones while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots to take Christian Mahogany, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick161
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A premium they did not need to pay, Khristian Boyd a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in the 163rd pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Rouse in No. 171. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick172
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Nothing to complain about; Marist Liufau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 178th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at pick No. 210. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in pick 248, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
