Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent pick 30 on Kingsley Suamataia, a name most had 31 spots down the list.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Pran pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, safety and other spots.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Melton.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick 84, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in No. 113. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Nothing to complain about; Elijah Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
They took Brandon Coleman at par in Round 6, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
