Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
C-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: C-. The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Matthew Jones went at No. 218, a good 98 picks before the board was ready. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
If Terrion Arnold and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrion Arnold in slot 34. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
No drama and no debate, Nate Wiggins went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 37 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They reached a country mile for Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 55, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A wild overpay on Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Value with a capital V on Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 113, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick 115, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 129th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
They talked themselves into Ajani Cornelius at the 163rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 175 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tre Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Tre Harris at pick No. 201, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Shemar Turner
They did well to land Shemar Turner in the 214th pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 244th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
