Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Lassiter: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The Suamataia pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nothing to complain about; Graham Barton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 51st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kingsley Suamataia at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
They will replay Kamari Lassiter at slot 65 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than pick No. 84 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Circle this one: Sione Vaki at pick No. 178 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
