Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureA+
The Steelers let Mahogany fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Steelers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. However the rest shakes out, Mahogany at that price is a win they earned. The Beebe pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 55, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 59th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent slot 85 on Cooper Beebe, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick89
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 101 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 102nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A want over a need in pick 106: Christian Mahogany adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 120th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Foster adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 133 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
A tidy little value on Maurice Smith in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 242 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
