ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jacob Parrish at the Round 3 slot. The Steelers jumped the board by 38 and dared it to prove them wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 21st pick they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Parrish in slot 83, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reach on Hollin Pierce in pick 123; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They took Bhayshul Tuten at par in the 156th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in pick No. 185, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
