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

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Tahj Washington, 89 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 20th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at slot 36 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 51 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dominick Puni adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tahj Washington
They reached a country mile for Tahj Washington at pick No. 98, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in No. 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garret Greenfield. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A reach on Ryan Flournoy in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
