Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
A weekend the Steelers will want back. Grade: D+. Nobody else had Ollie Gordon II anywhere near the 21st overall pick. The Steelers did, by 156 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.
The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Ollie Gordon II
In pick No. 21 they get an every-down engine for the run game, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick83
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in slot 83. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at the 123rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Makari Paige
They left a pile of value on the table to take Makari Paige this early at the 185th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at pick 229 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
