Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureC
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Jaden Crumedy selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 31 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 20 they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Legette in slot 43. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Sedrick Van Pran in the 51st pick leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They reached a country mile for Ainias Smith at the 119th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A big swing on Jaden Crumedy at Round 6, Pick 20, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
