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

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Steelers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

If Giddens pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
The board had cheaper options than Savion Williams at slot 83, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They jumped the gun on Hollin Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They talked themselves into DJ Giddens at the 156th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
They took Vernon Broughton at par in pick 185, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They did well to land Ricky White III in pick No. 229, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
