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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: DJ James, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A quiet steal in slot 51: Kamari Lassiter for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at No. 57 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at pick No. 94 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They let Javon Baker come to them and pounced at pick 98. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Beaux Limmer in the 119th overall pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the 120th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 James Williams
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Thomas in the 178th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
