Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D- weekend for the Steelers.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 30 picks early on Khyree Jackson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 23rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 23 on Sedrick Van Pran with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 104th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at Round 5, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A tidy little value on Curtis Jacobs in the 201st pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Storm Duck
Storm Duck slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
