Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Matthew Jones a full 72 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The McCoy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Carson Beck
A tidy little value on Carson Beck in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at the 56th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A reach on Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 32; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 81st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in slot 87, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 89 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick97
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
They paid up for Matt Goncalves at the 97th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 100 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at No. 107, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick113
Rnd4
James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at slot 113 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in Round 4, Pick 15, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 123rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick125
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at pick 125, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at slot 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They liked Malachi Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick151
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
No drama and no debate, T.J. Sanders went about where he belonged in No. 151. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
They jumped the gun on Lathan Ransom, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
They reached into another round for Kamal Hadden, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 159th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tre Harris
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tre Harris. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jestin Jacobs
Jestin Jacobs is a better player than pick No. 214 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Somehow Bru McCoy was still sitting there in slot 218, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Erick All
Erick All at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in No. 244 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They reached a country mile for Josh Proctor at the 253rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
