Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Franklin: B+.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using the 119th overall pick on Javon Foster while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots waited. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Franklin. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 52 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in slot 84. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick192 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They read the board right and Josh Proctor was the payoff at pick No. 192. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A slide stopped in the 198th pick, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Daequan Hardy at No. 227 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in pick 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
