Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Mayes fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let BJ Mayes slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 241st pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 20 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick 52 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still to address, they spent No. 84 on Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 123 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A clean, defensible pick in the 198th pick with a little surplus value in De'Corian Clark. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
A cornerback of that caliber at the 241st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They let Kurtis Rourke come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
