Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Briningstool from sliding. Grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Briningstool tumbling to the Steelers in pick 247 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The cost of the King reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They paid sticker price for Elic Ayomanor in slot 52, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kobe King
They talked themselves into Kobe King at Round 3, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in the 122nd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in No. 163, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, R.J. Mickens in pick No. 225, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the 231st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
