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

The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Will Sheppard, taking him 88 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nelson. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
By-the-book stuff, Walter Nolen at Round 1, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 83 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 122nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at the 231st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Will Sheppard this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
