FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kedon Slovis at Round 6, Pick 20, a reach of 110 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In No. 28 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick 51 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Dominick Puni in the 84th pick leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots for later.
Pick98
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick No. 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Gabriel Murphy
They robbed the room for Gabriel Murphy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 128 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178
Rnd6
James Williams
Circle this one: James Williams at slot 178 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kedon Slovis in Round 6, Pick 20, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
