Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Gabe Hall, 44 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The Phillips steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 51 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at the 84th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andru Phillips in the 119th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Hall well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at slot 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
