The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jordan Jefferson pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 27 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 52 on Zach Frazier with safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in the 84th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 34: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They paid sticker price for Malik Washington in the 121st pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at Round 5, Pick 24. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
By-the-book stuff, Emani Bailey at pick 198 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
No drama and no debate, Taulia Tagovailoa went about where he belonged in pick No. 238. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
