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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Steelers walked right past. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Ali steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Wilson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at pick 84, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the 118th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at slot 119 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at pick No. 240 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
