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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Andrew Raym, 44 picks ahead of schedule.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Landing Eichenberg that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. More want than need.
Pick67 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 96 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in the 99th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 101, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 16 is lovely value for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than pick 156, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick166 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They went early on Khristian Boyd in slot 166, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 168 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They reached into another round for Andrew Raym, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
