Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Greenfield. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Garret Greenfield slides to the 247th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 51 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sedrick Van Pran at offensive lineman with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the 142nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in slot 166, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They barely believed it either: Kitan Oladapo still on the board at Round 6, Pick 1. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
No edge and no loss on Grayson Murphy in pick 178; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Taking Tahj Washington in slot 215 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Somehow Garret Greenfield was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 27, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
