Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using slot 120 on Javon Foster while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots waited.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They went early on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 21, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at slot 85, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at the 121st overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Nice patience on Isaiah Williams, who had no business lasting to pick 199. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
