Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The McMahon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Chambers makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at No. 97 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in the 120th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They jumped the gun on Sam Hartman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
A wild overpay on Dylan McMahon in pick 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They robbed the room for Steele Chambers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
