Overall C+

ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

The jury is out on the Steelers. For now, C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Bub Means a full 51 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The final tally is a middling C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick20 Rnd1 Xavier Legette

In slot 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran

Sedrick Van Pran in the 51st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.

Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips

They reached into another round for Andru Phillips, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher

Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in No. 98 leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.

Pick119 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo

Nice patience on Mekhi Wingo, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
