pkjay07 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-. The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used No. 85 on Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Watson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Cooper reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A conviction pick on Edgerrin Cooper at pick 53 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in slot 85: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick120
Rnd4
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 120 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in pick No. 199 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Blake Watson
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Blake Watson worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
