Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Kingsley Suamataia at offensive lineman in pick 84 with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Hopper pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Every board in the league had Gray lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 20 on Kingsley Suamataia, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andru Phillips at slot 88 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 91st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They reached a country mile for Cedric Gray at pick 98, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 178th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 195 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
