Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Colson should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Junior Colson had no business being available in No. 98, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Crumedy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in pick No. 51. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 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.
Pick98 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick 119 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaden Crumedy
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at Round 5, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They paid sticker price for Tahj Washington in the 178th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
