Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. DeMonte Capehart went at the 242nd pick, a good 58 picks before the board was ready.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Guyton makes the weekend a net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 21st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Tykee Smith a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 121 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 199th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
