Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Maason Smith, and it showed at pick 84: 27 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Baker makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in pick No. 20. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A tidy bit of business in the 98th overall pick, where Javon Baker graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They liked Jamari Thrash enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 119. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
