Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Steelers bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The Steelers torched the value chart for John Williams, taking him 37 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They banked enough surplus on Royals to cover a lot of smaller sins.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Walter Nolen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st overall pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Somehow Jalen Royals was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Maxwell Hairston at the 85th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Nelson in pick No. 185. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at slot 229, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
