Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Grant: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Charles Grant, pick 156, roughly 62 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Wease Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 21 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 83rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 4, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 156 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
They reached into another round for Theo Wease Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in pick No. 229, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
