Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureD-
The Steelers went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Isaiah Davis went at the 244th overall pick, a good 55 picks before the board was ready.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. On value alone, Pearsall makes the weekend a net positive. The Powers-Johnson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kalen King
In the 22nd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the 23rd overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No drama and no debate, Emeka Egbuka went about where he belonged in pick No. 24. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
A slide stopped in slot 35, with Taliese Fuaga worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jackson Powers-Johnson at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Christian Mahogany in pick 87 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 113th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
The board fumbled Ricky Pearsall all the way to slot 255, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
No edge and no loss on Eugene Asante in pick No. 256; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
