Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Johnny Wilson, the No. 125 name on the board, in the 158th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Watts pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots went begging.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Good price on Jermaine Burton in pick No. 59, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They read the board right and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 20. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A slide stopped in the 98th pick, with Jaden Hicks worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board fumbled Khyree Jackson all the way to pick 119, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 122 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sataoa Laumea while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick158 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 158 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
They did well to land Jordan Travis in the 178th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They talked themselves into Eric Watts at the 195th pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
