Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

There is reaching, and then there is John Williams at Round 5, Pick 18. The Steelers jumped the board by 96 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Value with a capital V on Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 56, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid sticker price for Ozzy Trapilo in slot 83, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in the 123rd overall pick: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 John Williams
John Williams at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 185th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at Round 7, Pick 13. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
