Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Johnny Wilson went at slot 86, a good 39 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Bullock pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Suamataia pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at Round 1, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Johnny Wilson this early at the 86th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Calen Bullock at slot 98 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in pick No. 178. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 20, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
