Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Jordan Magee in slot 195. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in pick 51, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 84, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 98th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in slot 119 leaves safety, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Magee well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
