Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent No. 122 on John Williams, a name most had 120 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Amos value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 21st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Steal is underselling it; Trey Amos at pick No. 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at Round 4, Pick 21, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at slot 163 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
They reached into another round for Will Sheppard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
