Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Rice to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They banked enough surplus on Robinson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A clean, defensible pick in slot 51 with a little surplus value in T.J. Tampa. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 119th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They paid sticker price for Spencer Rattler in pick No. 120, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A tidy little value on Delmar Glaze in pick 195, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson slipping to Round 7, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
