Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureD
The Steelers let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

You could see the war room lean forward. Gentry Williams at pick 223 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The final tally is a middling C.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman went begging.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

If Barrett Carter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick27 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
They jumped the gun on Jabbar Muhammad, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Connor Colby, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
No edge and no loss on Tez Johnson in Round 5, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at pick No. 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at Round 5, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Somehow Gentry Williams was still sitting there in the 223rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
