Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent pick No. 185 on John Williams, a name most had 80 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 24 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 97th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in pick 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
By-the-book stuff, Damien Martinez at slot 156 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 John Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, John Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roc Taylor this early at Round 7, Pick 13. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
