Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Sedrick Van Pran at offensive lineman in the Round 3 slot with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots crying out for the pick instead. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The cost of the Travis reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick 55 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent slot 87 on Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
They did well to land Jahdae Barron in the 122nd pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in No. 123 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at Round 6, Pick 26 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
The board had cheaper options than Dorian Singer at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
