ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Wease Jr.: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Theo Wease Jr. slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 247th pick. Highway robbery.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Pegues lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 21 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at the 52nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 83 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They jumped the gun on JJ Pegues, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They read the board right and Carson Vinson was the payoff at pick No. 225. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Value with a capital V on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 13, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
