Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Patrick Paul at the 98th pick, a spot they had covered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Paul pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
No drama and no debate, Terrion Arnold went about where he belonged in pick 20. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 84th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Patrick Paul, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 19 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in slot 178, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at the 195th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
