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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Alfred Collins a full 32 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ransom pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Barrett Carter
In No. 27 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
They read the board right and Ajani Cornelius was the payoff at pick 58. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 89th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 28. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 141st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 163 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 229 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Value said wait; Alfred Collins in Round 7, Pick 21 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Damien Martinez at No. 241 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
