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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with John Williams at pick No. 229, a reach of 37 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 23 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A conviction pick on Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 19 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They reached a country mile for Jacob Parrish at the 87th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 156 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Jack Nelson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at slot 229 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
