Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent the 84th overall pick on Johnny Wilson, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in pick No. 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 119 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
They paid a round early for Khristian Boyd in the 178th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the 195th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
