Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and McGlothern: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Steelers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McGlothern. Adding Preston Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 13 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at No. 113 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in slot 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 238 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
