Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tosh Baker, 79 picks early at Round 5, Pick 24.

Landing Sanker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 21st pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matthew Golden at Round 2, Pick 20 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mello Dotson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
They reached a country mile for Tosh Baker at No. 161, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at pick No. 223 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 229 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at Round 7, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
