Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-

Larceny in pick No. 156 lands the Steelers a B-, Grant and all.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Charles Grant fell into the 156th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 21 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in No. 83. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 123, where Denzel Burke graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in slot 185 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the 229th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
