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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ty'Ron Hopper at the 121st pick regardless, 36 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Clark pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Goncalves pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 20th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 20, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Matt Goncalves while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
They talked themselves into Ty'Ron Hopper at the 121st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at pick 198, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at the 238th pick. The roster fit checks out.
