Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for John Williams, 103 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reach on Hollin Pierce in pick 123; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in the 156th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 John Williams
A big swing on John Williams at No. 163, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at slot 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They reached into another round for Roc Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
