Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Richard Jibunor selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 77 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 20th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A slide stopped in slot 51, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 84, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at pick No. 141. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Taking Roger Rosengarten in pick 165 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick194 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon slipping to slot 194 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
