Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: John Williams, 36 picks early at pick 229. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Higgins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They robbed the room for Jayden Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Fair-plus on Jacob Parrish, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 5, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A straight-up fair deal on Vernon Broughton at pick No. 185, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in the 229th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
