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

Somebody in the Round 4 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Tez Johnson, the No. 100 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 21 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 5, Pick 18 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 185th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A slide stopped in pick No. 229, with Craig Woodson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
