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

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Taulia Tagovailoa, 93 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Simpson at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick 156 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 178th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A big swing on Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 195, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
