Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
Mendoza is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: D-.

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Thompson at pick No. 214 will need to, sitting 81 spots clear of his grade. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The Steelers indulged a want in Miller while a need in interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Sabb steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 19 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 32 they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at the 52nd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
A straight-up fair deal on Jadarian Price at pick No. 133, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 34: Blake Miller adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kevin Coleman Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
A wild overpay on Jalen Thompson in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They paid sticker price for Barion Brown in the 234th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
