FutureB
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it. The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Steele Chambers a full 21 spots early.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 20th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 51st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Fair-plus on Jarvis Brownlee Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
They let Sione Vaki come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Value said wait; Steele Chambers in No. 178 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A tidy little value on Cornelius Johnson in slot 195, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
