Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers bet the future on Williams. The board says B.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 71 picks early on Steele Chambers, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Worthy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 20th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in pick 51 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Steele Chambers
A big swing on Steele Chambers at No. 120, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
They will replay Xavier Worthy at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick No. 197 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Josh Proctor in No. 238, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
