Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.

Mateer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 21st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 John Mateer
John Mateer at pick 53 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
