Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Cedric Gray selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Foster pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 51st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 84 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Javon Foster with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
