Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did enough to get by: C+.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Khristian Boyd, 59 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

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

The Steelers indulged a want in Fisher while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick 51 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in Round 3, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 195 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
