Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Steelers reached for McCaffrey and never recovered. Grade: F.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. There is no dressing it up: a F.

McCaffrey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 23 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in No. 51, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Shipley
They liked Will Shipley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 98. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Good price on Cole Bishop in pick No. 108, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in Round 4, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in the 129th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They jumped the gun on Jordan Travis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 AJ Barner
By-the-book stuff, AJ Barner at Round 5, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board had cheaper options than M.J. Devonshire at the 177th overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Steal is underselling it; Tykee Smith at No. 178 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
They paid a round early for Keaton Bills in pick No. 232, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
