Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 238th overall pick lands the Steelers a B, Dixon and all.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Johnny Dixon, the No. 181 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 238 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Steelers paired the rookies with proven help, Chigoziem Okonkwo leading the way. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board had Brenden Rice higher than the 107th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at No. 140. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 145 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser is a better player than the 154th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach slot 185 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 22 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at slot 238 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
