Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, running back and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used slot 98 on Zak Zinter, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Phillips value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Reaching for Amegadjie left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 20th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A reach on Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 19; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 84, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 98th pick on Zak Zinter, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 119th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
A clean, defensible pick in slot 178 with a little surplus value in Malik Mustapha. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They took Steele Chambers at par in No. 195, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
