Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Stutsman: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Danny Stutsman slide 71 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Caldwell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 21 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 52nd pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Value said wait; Joshua Farmer in No. 83 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A reach for Darius Alexander in the 121st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They paid sticker price for Seth McLaughlin in pick 223, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick229 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in slot 229 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
