Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Higgins should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at the 229th pick.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Nelson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 1, Pick 32 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to slot 83 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Nelson this early at pick No. 87. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 121 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 196th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Good price on Jaylen Reed in the 223rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at the 229th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in No. 245, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
