Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for James. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ James slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 98th overall pick. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Glaze reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 29 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board had Xavier Legette higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick61 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at slot 61. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at pick 98 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 19. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at the 178th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 195th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
