Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Steelers did enough to get by: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Khristian Boyd at slot 119. The Steelers jumped the board by 68 and dared it to prove them wrong. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In No. 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 2, Pick 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 76 on Sedrick Van Pran with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in the 94th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They talked themselves into Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 178, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
