Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jacob Parrish pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 34 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Giddens at that price is a win they earned. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 23rd pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick No. 87 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They jumped the gun on Hollin Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in pick 156, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They did well to land Bhayshul Tuten in No. 159, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A quiet steal in the 185th pick: DJ Giddens for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in pick 198 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at slot 229, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
