Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Steelers did not so much draft DeMonte Capehart as overpay for him, 34 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They banked enough surplus on Wilson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 15 they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kalen King
In the 31st overall pick they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Value with a capital V on Bo Nix in pick 38, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sedrick Van Pran while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A reach for Tykee Smith in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Dixon at pick 119, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 184 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Nice patience on Michael Barrett, who had no business lasting to pick No. 198. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 209th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They paid up for Matthew Jones at slot 228 when waiting would have done the job. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 241st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
