Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maiava headlines a B weekend for the Steelers.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Steelers spent their marquee pick on Jayden Maiava, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Bellamy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting Cobb proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jayden Maiava
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown in No. 56 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
You do not let a safety like Jelani McDonald reach the 78th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
The board fumbled Bear Alexander all the way to Round 3, Pick 24, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Christian Gray
Fair-plus on Christian Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Lawson Luckie in the 194th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jeremiah Cobb
They reached into another round for Jeremiah Cobb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
Somehow Jayden Bellamy was still sitting there in pick No. 224, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, DeAndre Moore Jr. a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
