Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The McMahon pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at pick No. 20, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Calen Bullock at slot 84 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 120th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They went early on Fabien Lovett in the 128th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 195 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A real head-scratcher, Dylan McMahon in pick 240 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
