Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Sam Hartman went at slot 219, a good 39 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Getting Cowing where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots to take Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 84 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 119. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
You do not let a wide receiver like Jacob Cowing reach the 169th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Curtis Jacobs in No. 178 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Value said wait; Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 219th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
