Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Williams: B+.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Cameron Williams, the No. 68 name on the board, sitting there at pick 123 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Parrish reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Savion Williams
The board had cheaper options than Savion Williams at No. 79, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They reached a country mile for Jacob Parrish at the 83rd pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cameron Williams
They will replay Cameron Williams at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 5, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
A straight-up fair deal on CJ West at the 185th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
A real head-scratcher, John Williams in slot 229 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
