Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used pick No. 119 on Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Legette steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Washington 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.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 20th overall pick they get a blindside protector. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 51 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 20 is lovely value for the safety. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 98th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Beaux Limmer adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board had cheaper options than Tahj Washington at the 178th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at No. 195 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
