Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: 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 quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Steelers paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Fields leading the way. On value alone, Berger makes the weekend a net positive.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 DJ James
A clean, defensible pick in No. 119 with a little surplus value in DJ James. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
By-the-book stuff, Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
They let Jalen Berger come to them and pounced at pick 214. The roster fit checks out.
