Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Corley from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malachi Corley, pick No. 84, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Goncalves lower, and that gap is the story. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at No. 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Circle this one: Malachi Corley at slot 84 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 98 on Matt Goncalves with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at the 119th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Travis in the 178th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A tidy little value on M.J. Devonshire in Round 6, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
