Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Greg Johnson, the No. 42 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 78. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking wide receiver early while quarterback, safety and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Nick Marsh
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent the 26th pick on Nick Marsh, a wide receiver they were not short of.
Pick57 Rnd2 Justin Scott
Justin Scott at pick No. 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in pick 78 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
