Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Matt Goncalves at offensive lineman in the 118th overall pick with quarterback, safety and other spots crying out for the pick instead. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at the 51st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
By-the-book stuff, McKinnley Jackson at slot 119 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 194th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at pick No. 240, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
