Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Marcus Yarns; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 37 spots ahead at the 229th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in slot 83. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton slid further than he should have, and the 123rd pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in Round 5, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at pick No. 185 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Yarns well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 230 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
