Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Steelers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Nothing to complain about; Garrett Nussmeier went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
