Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 6 slot, roughly 30 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nabers.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in slot 51 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and the 84th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick No. 178, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 20 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
