Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Simon: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cody Simon slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 225. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bryant reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st overall pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at pick 52 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A slide stopped in slot 83, with Deone Walker worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at pick No. 122 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the 225th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in No. 231, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They barely believed it either: Ja'Quinden Jackson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 29. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
