Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They will need Bryant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Nothing to complain about; Luther Burden III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They read the board right and Kaleb Johnson was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 20. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in No. 83, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 122nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A conviction pick on Cobee Bryant at pick 163 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
