Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Kyle Williams selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 49 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 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.

Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant

In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.

Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba

No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in the 83rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick123 Rnd4 Kyle Williams

A wild overpay on Kyle Williams in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Giddens

DJ Giddens at pick No. 156 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick185 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson

They paid up for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at No. 185 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.

Pick229 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton

Value said wait; Ty Hamilton in the 229th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
