Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 84 on Blake Fisher a full 34 spots early.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, safety and other spots still on the board.

So much rides on Graham Barton that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A conviction pick on Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 51 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A curious use of No. 84. Quarterback, safety and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Blake Fisher did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They did well to land M.J. Devonshire in the 195th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
