SCB0019 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
The Steelers let Bernard fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Germie Bernard, slot 128, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The cost of the Davis reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Dante Moore
They will replay Dante Moore at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
They robbed the room for Kamari Ramsey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mansoor Delane in the 89th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Good price on Caleb Tiernan in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128
Rnd4
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at No. 128 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at slot 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 166th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172
Rnd5
Eric O'Neill
They took Eric O'Neill at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Steal is underselling it; Taylen Green at the 209th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd6
Quinten Joyner
A running back of that caliber at slot 217 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
