Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 80 picks early on Khristian Boyd, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. They banked enough surplus on McConkey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 20 they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Value with a capital V on Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 75 on Blake Fisher with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at Round 3, Pick 35. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
