Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Vaki: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

That Vaki pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Rosengarten pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

The Rosengarten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They read the board right and Amarius Mims was the payoff at the 35th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in pick No. 51, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They jumped the gun on Mike Sainristil, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in pick 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Elliss at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Baker at Round 3, Pick 35 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A curious use of pick 119. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Roger Rosengarten did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
You do not let a safety like Sione Vaki reach pick No. 178 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A slide stopped in No. 195, with Ty'Ron Hopper worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
