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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick No. 240 regardless, 25 picks early.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Melton.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 22 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They did well to land Roman Wilson in the 51st pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at Round 3, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 97th overall pick on Dominick Puni, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in pick No. 128, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 166th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eyabi Okie-Anoma well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
