Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The war room fell hard for Keith Randolph Jr., and it showed at the 121st overall pick: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 21st pick they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in No. 53, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick120 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at pick No. 121, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 199th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in Round 7, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
