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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Oluwafemi Oladejo; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 70 spots ahead at pick 163. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st pick they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
The board had Kaleb Johnson higher than the 52nd overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They did well to land Elijah Arroyo in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slipping to slot 122 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in Round 5, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick No. 225 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A conviction pick on Hunter Wohler at the 231st overall pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
By-the-book stuff, Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
