Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureC+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jaylin Smith at the 229th overall pick is 29 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They liked Darius Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 83. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They took Savion Williams at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick 98 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in the 110th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in the 145th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They paid a round early for Tyler Cooper in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They reached into another round for Jaylin Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
