Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Isaiah Williams sat on the board until No. 252, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Bennett Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Nothing to complain about; Byron Murphy II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 115th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A reasonable price with a little left over, Spencer Rattler in Round 4, Pick 23. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Sincere Haynesworth
A reach for Sincere Haynesworth in pick No. 201; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
No edge and no loss on Xavier Truss in pick 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the 252nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Chico Bennett Jr.
They talked themselves into Chico Bennett Jr. at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Nice patience on Fentrell Cypress II, who had no business lasting to the 256th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
