Draft Grade — Steelers

Larceny in Round 2, Pick 19 lands the Steelers a B, Mitchell and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Quinyon Mitchell got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board fumbled Quinyon Mitchell all the way to Round 2, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They will replay Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 120th pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 197 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
A tidy little value on Andrew Raym in slot 238, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
