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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for John Williams, 37 picks ahead of schedule.

Higgins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 83rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They let Anthony Belton come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
No edge and no loss on Bhayshul Tuten in slot 156; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: John Williams in Round 7, Pick 13, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
