Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 65: the Steelers steal Colson and grade out a B.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, safety and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used slot 91 on Roger Rosengarten, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The cost of the Crumedy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 51 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Taking Junior Colson in pick No. 65 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Roger Rosengarten adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent the 119th overall pick on Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
