Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueA NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Greg Johnson, the No. 42 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 15. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Mincey reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
A curious use of the 26th overall pick. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Leonard Moore did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 KJ Bolden
A want over a need in the 57th pick: KJ Bolden adds a safety while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ryan Coleman-Williams
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 78 on Ryan Coleman-Williams, a wide receiver they were not short of.
Pick92 Rnd3 David Stone
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Stone in Round 3, Pick 28, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Greg Johnson
Taking Greg Johnson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sammy Omosigho
The board fumbled Sammy Omosigho all the way to pick 193, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick204 Rnd6 Audavion Collins
They barely believed it either: Audavion Collins still on the board at No. 204. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zavier Mincey
A real head-scratcher, Zavier Mincey in slot 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brandon Baker
Somehow Brandon Baker was still sitting there in the 249th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
