Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Nobody else had Jacob Parrish anywhere near the 83rd overall pick. The Steelers did, by 38 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Giddens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Parrish in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in the 156th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A slide stopped in pick 185, with DJ Giddens worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in Round 7, Pick 13 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
