kylebrandt46 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a B- to match. The search is over. The Steelers handed the keys to LaNorris Sellers, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
LaNorris Sellers
In pick 14 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Blake Miller
They took Blake Miller at par in Round 2, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 73rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
They paid sticker price for Mansoor Delane in pick No. 78, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jack Endries
No edge and no loss on Jack Endries in slot 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaydn Ott
A straight-up fair deal on Jaydn Ott at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz in the 133rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153
Rnd5
Dane Key
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dane Key. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings in slot 176 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick 211 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
PJ Williams
No drama and no debate, PJ Williams went about where he belonged in No. 227. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
