Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The Steelers let Jordan fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using pick 52 on Jackson Powers-Johnson while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots waited. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jordan.

Gray has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on Jackson Powers-Johnson with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in the 97th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in No. 120 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 121st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker slid further than he should have, and pick No. 198 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at slot 238 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
