Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With safety, edge rusher and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used the 98th overall pick on Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Fisher pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Van Pran at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 51 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They read the board right and Sedrick Van Pran was the payoff at the 84th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Blake Fisher at offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Nice patience on Maason Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 119. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Travis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They paid a round early for Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 20, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
