Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Mitchell fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Adonai Mitchell, the No. 31 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 84th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 20th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that.
Pick51 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent pick 51 on Graham Barton, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick84 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Steal is underselling it; Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 84 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in the Round 3 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.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at Round 4, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at the 189th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in No. 195, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They read the board right and Fabien Lovett was the payoff at slot 197. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They took Ryan Flournoy at par in the 204th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
