Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Wheatley: B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Zakee Wheatley, the No. 70 name on the board, in slot 99.

They will need Fields to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 21st overall pick they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
They reached into another round for Malachi Fields, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at No. 76 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
They took Emmett Johnson at par in slot 85, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Circle this one: Zakee Wheatley at the 99th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Connor Tollison
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Connor Tollison adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A tidy little value on Sam Roush in pick No. 159, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
