Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Gabe Hall at pick No. 195 will need to, sitting 27 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in No. 42, where Adonai Mitchell graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 51st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at the 71st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick 119, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They liked Mason McCormick enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 2. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They will replay Tykee Smith at the 178th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
