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

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Mike Sainristil, the No. 75 name on the board, in No. 119. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

It is not that Suamataia is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick No. 51 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 84th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A want over a need in slot 98: Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at pick 119 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 178th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and No. 195 is lovely value for the linebacker. It fills a real need, too.
