Draft Grade — Steelers

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Steelers walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
The cost of the Lomu reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 21st overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at pick No. 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
