Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Howard should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a C+.

Call it larceny. Will Howard sat on the board until slot 229, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

Reaching for Reid left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

If Jonah Savaiinaea and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 21st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A real head-scratcher, Tory Horton in Round 3, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Karene Reid
They reached a country mile for Karene Reid at No. 123, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trevor Etienne in slot 156. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
They will replay Jonas Sanker at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Will Howard
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
