Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Harvey: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: RJ Harvey, the No. 165 name on the board, sitting there at slot 185 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Milroe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 1, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They paid a round early for Jalen Milroe in slot 83, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the 127th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nothing to complain about; Nick Nash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 202. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock slipping to the 229th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
