Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Jones: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Elijah Jones slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 20th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 19: Keon Coleman for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 84, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They did well to land Mekhi Wingo in the 120th pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Nice patience on Jha'Quan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 195. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 240 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
