Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 143 name on the board, in No. 229.

Every board in the league had Slackman lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick 52 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 83 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in the 121st overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
The board fumbled Miles Frazier all the way to slot 223, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 229th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at Round 7, Pick 29 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
