Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Kiser fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jack Kiser tumbling to the Steelers in No. 247 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Shough to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Good price on Tre Harris in pick No. 52, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
No edge and no loss on Devin Neal in the 83rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Shough in No. 122, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 163 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold slipping to Round 7, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
You do not let a safety like Craig Woodson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at the 247th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
