Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 3, Pick 19 lands the Steelers a B, Johnson and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kaleb Johnson at the 83rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the 83rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Good price on Jacob Parrish in pick No. 123, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in No. 156 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Nelson at the 185th overall pick is the proof. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at Round 7, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
