Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jordan Whittington selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 30 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 52 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in the 84th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A reach for Jordan Travis in the 119th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 120 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in Round 6, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 21 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
