Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Gentry Williams, 96 picks early at the 231st overall pick.

Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st pick they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They liked Azareye'h Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 52. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 83rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in pick 122 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Raheim Sanders. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in No. 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
