Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with MJ Sherman in slot 242. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They did well to land Kris Jenkins in the 53rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Sedrick Van Pran in slot 75 leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in pick No. 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 119th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They paid up for Jordan Travis at pick 120 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A tidy little value on Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tanor Bortolini. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No drama and no debate, Eric Gentry went about where he belonged in No. 240. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
MJ Sherman at slot 242 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
