Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers. The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Tyreak Sapp, taking him 33 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
That Altmyer pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyreak Sapp
A wild overpay on Tyreak Sapp in the Round 1 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Austin Barber
Nice patience on Austin Barber, who had no business lasting to No. 79. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy slipping to pick No. 89 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at slot 99 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A tidy bit of business in the 126th overall pick, where Drew Allar graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 134 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kyle Louis in Round 5, Pick 25. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
They read the board right and Tanner Koziol was the payoff at the 172nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
A slide stopped in pick 209, with Rasheem Biles worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
The board had Jaren Kanak higher than the Round 6 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
Luke Altmyer
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Luke Altmyer in No. 243, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
