Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Steelers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Nobody had John Williams this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 37 spots to get him at pick No. 229.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 35th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They read the board right and Nick Emmanwori was the payoff at No. 37. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 54 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 185th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
A real head-scratcher, John Williams in pick 229 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
