Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Price from sliding. Grade: D+.

Somebody took the Steelers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Miller has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They banked enough surplus on Price to cover a lot of smaller sins. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 27th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in slot 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A big swing on Blake Miller at the 99th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tim Keenan III. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
