Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Logan Lee in pick No. 178. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Legette that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
Fair-plus on JC Latham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 19 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Sedrick Van Pran in the 84th overall pick leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 119 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A clean, defensible pick in the 195th pick with a little surplus value in M.J. Devonshire. The roster fit checks out.
