Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Arian Smith pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 134 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy bit of business in the 42nd overall pick, where Emeka Egbuka graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 52 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
No edge and no loss on Quinn Ewers in slot 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
They reached into another round for Ollie Gordon II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Arian Smith
A real head-scratcher, Arian Smith in pick 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akheem Mesidor in pick No. 229, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shaun Dolac well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
