Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 43: 70 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Hicks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the 42nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They liked Zach Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 51. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at pick No. 59. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A surprising call. With edge rusher and tight end still to address, they spent pick 93 on Dominick Puni, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They reached a country mile for Tyler Davis at Round 3, Pick 35, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Matt Goncalves at offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Taking Jaden Hicks in the 119th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They paid a round early for M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 178, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Crumedy in the 195th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Value said wait; Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 218 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
