Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers did not so much draft Charles Turner III as overpay for him, 72 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in No. 51, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 DJ James
A clean, defensible pick in pick 84 with a little surplus value in DJ James. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in pick No. 119, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 6 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A reach for Jaylen Harrell in slot 195; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
Value said wait; Charles Turner III in the 225th overall pick says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
