Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Will Sheppard, 123 picks ahead of schedule.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
A quiet steal in pick 52: Matthew Golden for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A reasonable price with a little left over, Maxwell Hairston in the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to Round 4, Pick 21, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 163 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in the 225th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A big swing on Will Sheppard at the 231st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 7, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
