Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 24 spots for Beaux Limmer, and value like that does not grow back. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That Cowing pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

It is not that Limmer is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in the 84th pick with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 119 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Beaux Limmer while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in pick No. 198. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A tidy bit of business in No. 241, where Daequan Hardy graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
