Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That Proctor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every board in the league had Guyton lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A curious use of the 52nd pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Jackson Powers-Johnson did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 84 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 120th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slid further than he should have, and No. 198 is lovely value for the safety. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Nathaniel Watson at pick 241, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
