Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Steelers: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Devin Leary in the Round 7 slot, a good 37 spots before the room expected him. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at No. 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in the 53rd overall pick: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 85 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in Round 4, Pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in pick 121, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 199th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Devin Leary
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Leary. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
