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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took MJ Sherman at slot 238 regardless, 66 picks early.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Steelers indulged a want in Limmer while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The Rakestraw Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 52nd overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in pick No. 120. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Beaux Limmer in No. 121 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They reached a country mile for Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
They went early on Miyan Williams in the 198th pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
They left a pile of value on the table to take MJ Sherman this early at the 238th overall pick. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
