SCB0019 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B. Nobody had Barion Brown this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 29 spots to get him at the 217th overall pick.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Green. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in the 45th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
LaNorris Sellers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LaNorris Sellers at pick No. 78 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Eric Singleton Jr.
Fair-plus on Eric Singleton Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields is a better player than Round 3, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in slot 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
The board had Chris Johnson higher than the 133rd overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154
Rnd5
CJ Baxter
A tidy little value on CJ Baxter in pick 154, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Taylen Green
The board fumbled Taylen Green all the way to pick No. 213, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217
Rnd7
Barion Brown
Value said wait; Barion Brown in No. 217 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
