Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Eichenberg: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tommy Eichenberg got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 176. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Limmer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Limmer pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, edge rusher and other spots.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Adonai Mitchell at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James in pick 51 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in the 63rd pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots to take Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tommy Eichenberg
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Tommy Eichenberg in the 176th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 178th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at pick 195 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
