My guess DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Hunter. Final grade: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Hunter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a downhill hitter at safety. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Bond in pick 83, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 86th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joshua Farmer at pick No. 123 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at No. 185, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jarquez Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Jarquez Hunter at the 209th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in No. 214 with a little surplus value in Jay Higgins. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
A conviction pick on Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
