Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The war room fell hard for Luke McCaffrey, and it showed at the 118th pick: 47 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while safety, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 51st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 84 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A surprising call. With safety, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 119 on Roger Rosengarten, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick194 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at pick 194, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in slot 240 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
