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

The Steelers spent real capital to be 38 picks early on Trevin Wallace, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in pick 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in slot 84; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Christian Jones
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Christian Jones while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 134th pick on Isaiah Adams, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had Luke McCaffrey higher than No. 164, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 6, Pick 3 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevin Wallace this early at pick No. 195. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A conviction pick on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 204th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
