Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Gavin Bartholomew. He came off 126 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mondon Jr.. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
By-the-book stuff, Emeka Egbuka at the 21st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A wild overpay on Jaxson Dart in No. 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 83 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at pick 161. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
They reached into another round for Anthony Belton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
They talked themselves into Gavin Bartholomew at slot 245, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
