Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B. Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Steelers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Landing Nussmeier that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
Good price on Makai Lemon in pick No. 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51
Rnd2
Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at the 51st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
