Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Howard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at No. 123.

Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A tidy little value on Luther Burden III in slot 30, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deone Walker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in slot 83; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Howard
They will replay Will Howard at pick No. 123 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 166th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Good price on Jack Nelson in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
No edge and no loss on Theo Wease Jr. in pick 241; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
