Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 4, Pick 21, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, safety and other spots still on the board. The Morgan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in pick No. 53, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 30: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick85 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 85th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 121, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 199 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
