Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Steelers steal Smith and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Brashard Smith slide 54 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will need Morris to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 57th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
They went early on Azareye'h Thomas in pick 92, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Paul Jr. in slot 126. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A big swing on Simeon Barrow Jr. at No. 132, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach the 158th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in Round 7, Pick 10, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They liked Nick Nash enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 233. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fentrell Cypress II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
