Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Steelers never got to the one that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Bullard that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Cooper reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
A clean, defensible pick in the 21st overall pick with a little surplus value in Nate Wiggins. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 85th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at No. 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at pick No. 121 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A slide stopped in pick 199, with Jaylan Ford worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
