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

Nobody else had Javon Foster anywhere near the 98th pick. The Steelers did, by 22 spots, and that gap is the whole story. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Odunze falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A wild overpay on Sedrick Van Pran in the 51st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and the 84th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
A want over a need in slot 98: Javon Foster adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 195, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
