Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 122nd overall pick lands the Steelers a B, Jackson and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Jackson tumbling to the Steelers in the 122nd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Every board in the league had Stackhouse lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Good price on Walter Nolen in slot 21, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson is a better player than pick 52 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Fair-plus on Elijah Arroyo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to pick No. 122, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 163rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at No. 231 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 247th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
