Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent Round 7, Pick 24 on Rondell Bothroyd, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Getting Franklin where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Steelers indulged a want in Powers-Johnson while a need in interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots stayed open.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 14, with Graham Barton worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A want over a need in No. 55: Jackson Powers-Johnson adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 82nd pick on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A clean, defensible pick in slot 122 with a little surplus value in Beau Brade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They let Jordan Travis come to them and pounced at pick 153. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A quiet steal in the 201st pick: Michael Barrett for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They barely believed it either: Zakhari Franklin still on the board at pick 235. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at the 244th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
