Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Steelers did not so much draft Ty Robinson as overpay for him, 42 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The final tally is a middling C-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The Steelers indulged a want in Fairchild while a need in safety, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

So much rides on Tyleik Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 45th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 65th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Value with a capital V on Jaylin Noel in pick 69, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
No drama and no debate, Jalen Milroe went about where he belonged in slot 90. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant slid further than he should have, and pick No. 106 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dylan Fairchild at offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A conviction pick on Rylie Mills at the 118th pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in the 122nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick No. 127 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They barely believed it either: Mello Dotson still on the board at pick 156. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the 229th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A straight-up fair deal on Thomas Fidone II at the 244th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
