BLESSEDBYGOD22 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: B-. The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tez Johnson, the No. 100 name on the board, in No. 156. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Every board in the league had Hemingway lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In pick No. 21 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
No edge and no loss on Gunnar Helm in slot 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Riley Leonard
A straight-up fair deal on Riley Leonard at Round 4, Pick 21, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in pick 156 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Gray in the 185th overall pick, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
