Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
F
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureF
The Steelers drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: F. The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A F, plain and simple.
The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots went begging. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 8th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick21
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick23
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In No. 23 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent the 26th pick on Tyler Guyton, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick28
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 1, Pick 29 leaves interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 31st pick they get a potential shutdown corner.
Pick32
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 43 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
