Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureA
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B. It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had edge rusher and tight end to solve and reached instead for Javon Foster, an offensive lineman, at the 119th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Rosemy-Jacksaint at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 32 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick64
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Max Melton
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at No. 84. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in slot 100, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Maason Smith
The board had cheaper options than Maason Smith at Round 4, Pick 1, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Fair-plus on Brenden Rice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open.
Pick128
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick 128 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Good price on Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Mason McCormick in slot 133 leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 142nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
They paid sticker price for Fabien Lovett in pick 178, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
The board had Cornelius Johnson higher than the 195th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where M.J. Devonshire graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 211 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 38: Steele Chambers for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
They liked Jaden Crumedy enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 217. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than the 248th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A slide stopped in the 254th pick, with Josh Proctor worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Bub Means
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bub Means at No. 256. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in slot 257, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
