Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaxson Dart got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 23.

Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They will answer for taking defensive back early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Cooper DeJean in the Round 1 slot leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots for later.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Morgan in pick No. 54. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in the 122nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 159 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Raym in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
You do not let a quarterback like Jaxson Dart reach pick No. 243 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
