Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
Daniels is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: F.

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Gore Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 7th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
By-the-book stuff, JC Latham at the 16th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 16 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A clean, defensible pick in pick 116 with a little surplus value in Tory Horton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in slot 121, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 194 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid up for Frank Gore Jr. at the 237th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
