Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Steelers indulged a want in Zinter while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. Sainristil falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricky Pearsall. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 84 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Zak Zinter in slot 98 leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 120th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 28. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They took Fabien Lovett at par in pick 178, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
By-the-book stuff, Steele Chambers at the 195th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
