Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Tampa: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched T.J. Tampa slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 51 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in the 98th overall pick with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in pick No. 119 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick178 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Steal is underselling it; Mason McCormick at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick195 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
