Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

There is reaching, and then there is Myles Murphy at No. 194. The Steelers jumped the board by 25 and dared it to prove them wrong. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. It is not that Zinter is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They banked enough surplus on Zinter to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 20, where Xavier Legette graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zak Zinter at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A big swing on Myles Murphy at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 240 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
