Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Reid should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Steelers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Reid pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Webb pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matthew Golden at pick 21 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 123rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in the 156th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in Round 6, Pick 9; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Circle this one: Karene Reid at No. 229 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
