Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Blake Watson pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at pick No. 20, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 57. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Sedrick Van Pran in pick 73 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the 119th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at Round 6, Pick 23 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They let Steele Chambers come to them and pounced at the 241st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
