Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Hicks from sliding. Grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Jaden Hicks slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Reaching for Fisher left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 20 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Troy Franklin in pick No. 51, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in Round 3, Pick 20 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Somehow Jaden Hicks was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in the 195th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
