Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Steelers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Reaching for Felton left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 21 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 83rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
