Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: B+.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 145 name on the board, in the 229th pick.

They will need Griffith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Jonathan Mingo gives the group a proven body among the projects. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in pick No. 44. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 103 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A straight-up fair deal on Tommi Hill at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 148th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in Round 5, Pick 24, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A tidy bit of business in slot 223, where Miles Frazier graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at No. 229. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
