Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB+
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Kingsley Suamataia at offensive lineman in slot 51 with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Cole proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 26th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A curious use of the 51st overall pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Kingsley Suamataia did not.
Pick86
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They jumped the gun on Khyree Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick No. 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kalen King
Value said wait; Kalen King in slot 119 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in pick 125, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in No. 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
