Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureC
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Mason McCormick at slot 119 regardless, 27 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

It is not that McCormick is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 40 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.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sedrick Van Pran well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the 98th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent No. 119 on Mason McCormick, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Nothing to complain about; M.J. Devonshire went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
