Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Neal should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Devin Neal had no business being available in the 161st pick, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Walley lower, and that gap is the story.

In the end it comes back to Xavier Watts, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 78th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jack Bech
The board fumbled Jack Bech all the way to No. 123, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
They went early on Anthony Belton in pick 229, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in slot 253, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
