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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent pick No. 119 on Luke McCaffrey, a name the board had a full 30 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 20th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Matt Goncalves at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in pick 119 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Jefferson at No. 178, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at the 195th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
