[email protected] DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Steelers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
They are betting Milum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Woodson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 21 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jordan James
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan James in the 123rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Pat Bryant at pick 156 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in No. 185. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
The board had Craig Woodson higher than Round 7, Pick 13, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
