Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Clark. Final grade: B-.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: De'Corian Clark, the No. 220 name on the board, in pick No. 242. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Eichenberg lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 21st overall pick they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in No. 53. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 120th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 121 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at Round 6, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They robbed the room for De'Corian Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
