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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Donald Chaney at slot 247 regardless, 165 picks early.

The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Somehow Isaiah Bond was still sitting there in the 83rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick No. 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to the 163rd pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach pick 225 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Donald Chaney
They reached into another round for Donald Chaney, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
