Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Smael Mondon Jr. at the 83rd overall pick. The Steelers jumped the board by 25 and dared it to prove them wrong. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Brown value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
They paid a round early for Cameron Williams in the 21st pick, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at pick 52 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They reached a country mile for Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 83, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 24 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
