Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

Nobody else had Baylor Cupp anywhere near Round 7, Pick 21. The Steelers did, by 135 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is not that Beebe is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

Hit on Amarius Mims and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 20 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Cooper Beebe while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 119th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick241 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
They reached into another round for Baylor Cupp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
