Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using the Round 4 slot on Javon Foster while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots waited. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Van Pran proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Landing Rice that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Nice patience on Kris Jenkins, who had no business lasting to pick 59. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brenden Rice at the 85th pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They paid sticker price for Beau Brade in the 109th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in slot 120, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Javon Foster while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at pick No. 125 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Value with a capital V on Josh Proctor in Round 6, Pick 23, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They paid a round early for J.J. Weaver in No. 219, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
