Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Barton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Graham Barton at the 51st pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

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, safety and other spots went begging. Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Somehow Graham Barton was still sitting there in pick No. 51, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in the 84th overall pick: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick98 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A tidy bit of business in slot 98, where Devontez Walker graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
A conviction pick on Gabe Hall at the 169th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
They paid a round early for Kalen King in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
