Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Beaux Limmer selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A reach on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Baker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
A curious use of pick 98. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Beaux Limmer did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the 178th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
