Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Keegan fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Trevor Keegan tumbling to the Steelers in the 195th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

It is not that Van Pran is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to the 60th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick98 Rnd3 DJ James
They will replay DJ James at pick 98 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at pick No. 178 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at Round 6, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
