Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

The Barrett steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 21 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sedrick Van Pran while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cooper Beebe at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A tidy little value on Beau Brade in pick No. 120, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Fair-plus on Cedric Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ainias Smith in slot 163. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett is a better player than slot 199 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
