Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Jones: B.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Jarrian Jones, the No. 123 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Polk left real value on the table behind him.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They did well to land Tyler Guyton in No. 34, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A conviction pick on Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 55 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 84th pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 3, Pick 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 119th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in slot 156 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 158 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in the 178th overall pick with a little surplus value in James Williams. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A straight-up fair deal on Rasheen Ali at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor slipping to pick 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
