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

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Marcus Yarns, 34 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a rangy last line of defense. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They let Chris Paul Jr. come to them and pounced at pick 90. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 123 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Shough at No. 156 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
They took Vernon Broughton at par in the 185th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They paid a round early for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 190th pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Yarns well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
