Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Jackson Powers-Johnson went at the 20th overall pick, a good 31 picks before the board was ready.

The Steelers indulged a want in Barton while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A curious use of slot 52. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Graham Barton did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in pick 84, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 119th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A big swing on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 120, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in the 198th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 21. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
