Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Shilo Sanders at slot 229 is 54 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 21st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at Round 3, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A quiet steal in pick 156: Pat Bryant for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid a round early for Joshua Gray in pick No. 185, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shilo Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
