Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 185th overall pick lands the Steelers a B, Smith and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Brashard Smith, the No. 131 name on the board, stolen at the 185th overall pick.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Nothing to complain about; Devin Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jaylin Noel in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 156th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They barely believed it either: Luke Lachey still on the board at No. 229. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
