Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

The Steelers let Noel fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Jaylin Noel, the No. 62 name on the board, sitting there at the 83rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Zabel to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick21 Rnd1 Grey Zabel

They paid up for Grey Zabel at No. 21 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick83 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel

Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at pick No. 83 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick123 Rnd4 Cody Simon

A premium they did not need to pay, Cody Simon a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick156 Rnd5 Malachi Moore

Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens

They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Giddens in the 185th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
