Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Maason Smith, taking him 27 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Landing Liufau that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick51
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A want over a need in No. 64: Patrick Paul adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 84th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A reach for Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 159 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at No. 178. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick 195 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
