Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sedrick Van Pran, 26 picks early at No. 48.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

So much rides on Amarius Mims that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in the 48th overall pick: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick80 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A curious use of the 116th pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Tate Ratledge did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slipping to slot 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid up for Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 237. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
