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

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using the 119th pick on Matt Goncalves while quarterback, safety and other spots waited.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Rice pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A conviction pick on Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 19 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 84 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Matt Goncalves while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 178th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
