Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-

Grand theft in pick No. 84: the Steelers steal Sainristil and grade out a B-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Mike Sainristil fell into Round 3, Pick 20. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Steelers indulged a want in Wallace while a need in safety, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 51st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A premium they did not need to pay, DeWayne Carter a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Caedan Wallace in pick 119 leaves safety, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They read the board right and Jordan Magee was the payoff at slot 178. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
