Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B. There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Steelers never got to the one that mattered most.
That Lemon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jake Golday
They took Jake Golday at par in the 53rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
