Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Steelers bet big and early on John Williams, 81 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Derrick Harmon that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A clean, defensible pick in No. 36 with a little surplus value in Derrick Harmon. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 52nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slipping to pick No. 64 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid a round early for Savion Williams in Round 3, Pick 19, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 John Williams
They reached into another round for John Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at pick 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
