Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Bowman Jr.. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 116 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 162. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cost of the Vinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Mike Green
A reach on Mike Green in Round 1, Pick 21; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in No. 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They barely believed it either: Tai Felton still on the board at the 123rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at pick 185, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They took Zeek Biggers at par in pick No. 229, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
By-the-book stuff, Cody Lindenberg at the 245th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
