Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
King should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalen King tumbling to the Steelers in the 170th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Raym reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Quinyon Mitchell and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 51 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 136th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in the 157th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in pick No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on M.J. Devonshire. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Raym in pick No. 213, miles early. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
