Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers let Polk fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Polk value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in the 36th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at No. 98 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach pick No. 101 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Value with a capital V on Braelon Allen in pick No. 119, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A tidy little value on Josh Newton in pick 126, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
They read the board right and Javion Cohen was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 3. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
