Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B+.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Steelers walked right past.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fautanu. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 84 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in slot 98. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at No. 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A need, and now a little less of one.
