Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent slot 119 on Roger Rosengarten while quarterback, safety and other spots sat unaddressed. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rosengarten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 19 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They liked Sedrick Van Pran enough to skip the value, taking him in the 63rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 84 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A curious use of No. 119. Quarterback, safety and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Roger Rosengarten did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 178th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
