Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Sam Hartman at the 198th pick is 33 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

It is not that Fisher is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The Hicks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 52 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 84 on Blake Fisher with interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
The board had Jaden Hicks higher than the 120th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in pick No. 121, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the 124th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at pick No. 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
No edge and no loss on J.J. Weaver in Round 7, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
