Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Steelers let Allen fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Braelon Allen fell into the Round 6 slot. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 32 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at slot 58. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A curious use of the 68th overall pick. Interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Sedrick Van Pran did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Circle this one: Payton Wilson at No. 88 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the 100th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zak Zinter at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick128 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Michael Pratt in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 134 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Taking Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 177 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
A running back of that caliber at the 198th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Steal is underselling it; Darius Muasau at the 253rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
