Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Kevin Jennings a full 81 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Kiser at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in slot 52, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Alexander. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 20 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 126th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kevin Jennings
A big swing on Kevin Jennings at the 161st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nick Nash
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Nash in No. 223, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at pick No. 241 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe in the 245th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
