Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody else had Edefuan Ulofoshio anywhere near slot 178. The Steelers did, by 58 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Melton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Steelers indulged a want in Mahogany while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at pick No. 51 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cedric Gray this early at the 73rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in the 98th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Christian Mahogany at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Javon Foster while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 129 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ryan Flournoy
They reached a country mile for Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 165, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach for Jordan Jefferson in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 178th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 195th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
