Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Nohl Williams at the 123rd overall pick, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

However the rest shakes out, White III at that price is a win they earned. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 83 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 123rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Taking Ricky White III in No. 223 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A conviction pick on Hunter Wohler at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 29 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
