Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA-
The Steelers let Rice fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. 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. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
On value alone, Rice makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Lovett reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick76
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent pick 76 on Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick86
Rnd3
Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Javon Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in slot 99. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Javon Foster in pick No. 120 leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 21. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 122nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128
Rnd4
Fabien Lovett
They paid up for Fabien Lovett at pick No. 128 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
James Williams
A slide stopped in the 131st pick, with James Williams worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in No. 146. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Nice patience on Jarrian Jones, who had no business lasting to slot 160. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 238 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
