Hclam22 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers

Milroe should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalen Milroe, the Round 5 slot, roughly 61 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 19, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in pick No. 123 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at No. 156. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
A quarterback of that caliber at the 185th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
They will replay Antwane Wells Jr. at the 229th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
