Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA+
The Steelers let Franklin fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Zakhari Franklin, the No. 229 name on the board, in pick No. 249. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They did well to land Kiran Amegadjie in pick 60, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sedrick Van Pran at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in No. 88: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nice patience on Mike Sainristil, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 99th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zak Zinter adds an offensive lineman and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Robinson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
By-the-book stuff, Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slipping to the 198th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at slot 236 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at pick No. 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
