Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The jury is out on the Steelers. For now, C+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Taulia Tagovailoa, 92 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Rosengarten pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 20th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A big swing on Sedrick Van Pran at Round 2, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at pick No. 84 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 119th overall pick on Roger Rosengarten with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty'Ron Hopper. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at Round 6, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
