Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Some picks age like wine; Jordan Magee at pick 195 will need to, sitting 27 spots clear of his grade.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in pick 51, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 84th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A curious use of slot 88. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Dominick Puni did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at No. 120 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Value said wait; Jordan Magee in Round 6, Pick 20 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jennings went about where he belonged in the 240th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
