Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 162nd overall pick on John Williams a full 80 spots early.

The Monangai pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in the 83rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at No. 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 185 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 CJ West
A quiet steal in pick No. 229: CJ West for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Circle this one: Kyle Monangai at No. 245 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
