Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Steelers a B, Baker and all.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Van Pran pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Baker.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 26 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 44th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in pick No. 52. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick 84 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 112 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at No. 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at pick 150 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in slot 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A slide stopped in pick No. 241, with Daequan Hardy worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
