Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The Steelers' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The cost of the Gray reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 21 they get a lockdown presence outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A slide stopped in pick No. 85, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 121 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at slot 199. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the 242nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
