Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueF NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
Not the weekend the Steelers were hoping for: D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Gino Garcia in Round 1, Pick 21. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They will answer for taking specialist early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Gino Garcia
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Gino Garcia at specialist with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ben Sauls
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Ben Sauls while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bilhal Kone
A wild overpay on Bilhal Kone in slot 123, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Rivaldo Fairweather
Rivaldo Fairweather in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Wedig in Round 6, Pick 9, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Chantz Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chantz Williams this early at pick 229. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
