Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Steelers. For now, C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Trinidad Chambliss; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 64 spots ahead at No. 53.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Branch falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Hit on Jordyn Tyson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the 53rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
A reach on Emmett Johnson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They reached into another round for Chase Bisontis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in slot 99 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in the 121st pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Aaron Graves
They reached a country mile for Aaron Graves at slot 135, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in Round 5, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ceyair Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ceyair Wright well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway at No. 214 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 PJ Williams
Nothing to complain about; PJ Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
