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

The Beaux Limmer pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 20 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
The board had cheaper options than Kiran Amegadjie at the 51st pick, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Beaux Limmer at offensive lineman with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 119 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at pick 195, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in slot 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
