Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until slot 122, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Howard to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 21 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 64 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the 83rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at slot 96 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 129th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach pick No. 166 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Addison West
Taking Addison West in Round 7, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 231 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 247th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
