Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C+ to match.

The Jalen Coker pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 55 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Landing Burton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The McCormick pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, safety and other spots. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A big swing on Mike Sainristil at No. 51, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at the 84th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Mason McCormick while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at slot 178, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
They reached into another round for Jalen Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
