Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Quincy Riley at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Farmer pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 21st pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot.
Pick52 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in slot 163 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
No drama and no debate, Ja'Corey Brooks went about where he belonged in pick No. 225. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at the 231st pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
