Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Braswell. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Chris Braswell, the No. 44 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 67th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in No. 36: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nothing to complain about; T'Vondre Sweat went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They will replay Chris Braswell at the 67th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at pick 78 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 98th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Audric Estime at pick No. 119. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Nice patience on Jordan Jefferson, who had no business lasting to the 195th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
