Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending the 135th pick on Dametrious Crownover with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still wide open.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That McNeil-Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 21 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board had Emmanuel McNeil-Warren higher than No. 53, and the safety fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Fair-plus on Garrett Nussmeier, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
A straight-up fair deal on Chandler Rivers at pick No. 99, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emmett Johnson at pick 121. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dametrious Crownover at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick161 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
No edge and no loss on Marlin Klein in the 161st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
