Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Turner should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Dallas Turner, the No. 22 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 50. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Van Pran pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back and tight end.

They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 1 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Taking Dallas Turner in No. 50 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Running back and tight end needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Sedrick Van Pran did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Fair-plus on Nazir Stackhouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 123rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in the 196th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater in slot 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
