Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for McCaffrey: B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Luke McCaffrey, the No. 165 name on the board, sitting there at pick 197 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Limmer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in slot 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 84 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 20 on Beaux Limmer with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Steal is underselling it; Luke McCaffrey at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 238 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
