Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Steelers did enough to get by: C+.

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Kingsley Suamataia at offensive lineman in Round 2, Pick 19 with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Torrence that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Hit on Jackson Powers-Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A want over a need in the Round 2 slot: Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Good price on Cole Bishop in the 108th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A reach on Cornelius Johnson in pick 178; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They let Ro Torrence come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 20. A need, and now a little less of one.
