Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaxson Dart at pick 68, a reach of 70 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Henderson. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No drama and no debate, Trey Amos went about where he belonged in pick 52. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaxson Dart this early at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in the 83rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Steal is underselling it; Maxwell Hairston at No. 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Justin Walley
A wild overpay on Justin Walley in slot 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick 245, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
