Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The Steelers answered their biggest question with Dart. Grade: B-.

Start where it matters. The Steelers took Jaxson Dart to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Brooks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In slot 30 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 19 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at the 123rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach pick 156 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in pick No. 169, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in No. 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 237th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
