Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Monangai should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Kyle Monangai sat on the board until the 247th overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

The Lindenberg pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Good price on Tre Harris in the 52nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They let Quinshon Judkins come to them and pounced at the 83rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They went early on Darius Alexander in No. 122, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
They read the board right and Kyle Williams was the payoff at pick 225. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They reached into another round for Cody Lindenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
