Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Steelers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

It is not that Van Pran is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Bishop steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick62 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They let Ricky Pearsall come to them and pounced at the 68th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 84th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 93 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Maason Smith a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to No. 119. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Christian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash slid further than he should have, and slot 139 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 28 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 178 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick 195 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
