Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
Nussmeier is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Steelers committed. Garrett Nussmeier is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
They jumped the gun on Garrett Nussmeier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Antonio Williams at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at pick 63 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
