Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Mukuba fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Andrew Mukuba slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: safety settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 21st pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They paid sticker price for Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 83, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at pick 122 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 163rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
