Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: James Williams, the No. 124 name on the board, stolen at No. 178. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Coker lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jermaine Burton in No. 84, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mason McCormick at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to slot 178, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Coker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
