Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed quarterback, safety and other spots to take Matt Goncalves at the 98th overall pick, a spot they had covered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Pran pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in No. 51 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Michael Hall Jr. at the 84th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at Round 6, Pick 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
