Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent No. 120 on Keith Randolph Jr., a name most had 40 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mitchell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 21 they get a cornerstone up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 21. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to pick No. 85 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A wild overpay on Keith Randolph Jr. in the 120th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
A reach on Johnny Dixon in No. 121; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in the 199th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at Round 7, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
