Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Clark fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: De'Corian Clark, the No. 212 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 238 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Steelers indulged a want in Powers-Johnson while a need in interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
They took Amarius Mims at par in Round 1, Pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 52 on Jackson Powers-Johnson with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in pick No. 84, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A reach for Jordan Travis in No. 120; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Omar Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Brown at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
You do not let a wide receiver like De'Corian Clark reach the 238th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
