Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Matt Goncalves at the 119th pick, a spot they had covered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 20 they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 51st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach for Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
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, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 3. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at the 195th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
