Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Steelers: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Khristian Boyd in slot 124, a good 63 spots before the room expected him. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Landing Lloyd that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

If Ladd McConkey and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They read the board right and Graham Barton was the payoff at No. 33. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in the 63rd overall pick: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andru Phillips in the 84th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
The board fumbled MarShawn Lloyd all the way to pick 119, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick No. 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Crumedy this early at the 178th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A real head-scratcher, Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They paid a round early for Steele Chambers in pick No. 211, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
