Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Steelers walked right past.

The Taylor III steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at pick No. 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A tidy bit of business in the 120th overall pick, where Leonard Taylor III graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at slot 121 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They paid up for Sam Hartman at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
No drama and no debate, Walter Rouse went about where he belonged in the 242nd pick. A minor itch, scratched.
