Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 84: the Steelers steal Colson and grade out a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Junior Colson at pick No. 84 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Pearl has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A quiet steal in the 51st overall pick: Braden Fiske for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 20 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to No. 98, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Matt Goncalves adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at pick 178, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick No. 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
