Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. DJ Giddens sat on the board until the 231st overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Frazier left real value on the table behind him.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the 83rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at pick 122 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at the 163rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at pick No. 225 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
The board fumbled DJ Giddens all the way to No. 231, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Taking Ricky White III in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
