Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Jordan Jefferson, 100 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Mahogany that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 20 they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nice patience on Chris Braswell, who had no business lasting to the 51st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 84th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Good price on Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Mahogany reach No. 119 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick178 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They talked themselves into Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick195 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
