Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Steelers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper DeJean in slot 20. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in No. 120, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 198 with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson at pick 241 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
