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

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent pick 84 on Patrick Paul while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat unaddressed. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 20th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in the 51st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Patrick Paul did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at slot 98 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 119 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
They paid sticker price for Nelson Ceaser in Round 6, Pick 3, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick No. 195 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
