Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 225 on Will Sheppard a full 110 spots early.

However the rest shakes out, Edwards at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 21 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 52 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in pick No. 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 John Williams
John Williams at slot 163 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick225 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Value said wait; Will Sheppard in the 225th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach No. 231 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
