Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Tez Johnson sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 31, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than pick No. 33, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to pick 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach Round 3, Pick 19 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 94th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at slot 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to the 133rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in No. 229 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
