Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureF
Grand theft in pick 246: the Steelers steal Johnson and grade out a C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 188 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 246.

Watts has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman went begging. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

If Troy Fautanu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 21st overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Amarius Mims while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at the 98th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at pick 99 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 22: Luke McCaffrey for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick184 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in slot 184 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eric Watts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Watts. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 217th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trey Knox
No drama and no debate, Trey Knox went about where he belonged in No. 220. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Nothing to complain about; Kalen DeLoach went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
