You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. On the needs board they went 2 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

If Will Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
