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

The Steelers torched the value chart for Khristian Boyd, taking him 59 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Legette falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Legette in the 51st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in the 98th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached a country mile for Khristian Boyd at slot 119, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at Round 6, Pick 3 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Good price on M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 195, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
