Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Coleman. Final grade: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 84th overall pick. Highway robbery. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

It is not that Limmer is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 29th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in the 51st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in No. 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Circle this one: Keon Coleman at pick No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Beaux Limmer adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at pick 121, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 27 with a little surplus value in Jordan Travis. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board had Tahj Washington higher than No. 207, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens is a better player than the 238th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
