Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Myles Jones, the No. 214 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 241.

It is not that Powers-Johnson is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will need Powers-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and the 35th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 43 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the 66th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Cooper Beebe did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 119 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A straight-up fair deal on De'Corian Clark at Round 6, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Taking Myles Jones in No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
