Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The Steelers' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Rice pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 51st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at slot 84 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A clean, defensible pick in pick 118 with a little surplus value in Mekhi Wingo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at pick No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A conviction pick on Kenny Logan Jr. at Round 7, Pick 20 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
