Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in pick 51 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A want over a need in No. 71: Patrick Paul adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at the 84th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in the 104th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 119 on Matt Goncalves with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 186th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
