Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Allar. Final grade: B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Drew Allar, the No. 109 name on the board, stolen at the 164th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Jones pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher still on the board.
Reaching for Kearney left real value on the table behind him.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Gennings Dunker
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cade Klubnik
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cade Klubnik in No. 58. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
A quiet steal in pick 79: Antonio Williams for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
They went early on Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 89, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Circle this one: Michael Taaffe at the 99th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Eugene Wilson III
No edge and no loss on Eugene Wilson III in Round 4, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134
Rnd4
Logan Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Logan Jones at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick164
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in pick No. 164, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at pick No. 172 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Roderick Kearney
A big swing on Roderick Kearney at No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at slot 217 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
They paid sticker price for Brett Norfleet in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
