Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
The Steelers let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. When a board-topper like Cornelius Johnson slides to slot 195, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The cost of the Pratt reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 16 they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in pick No. 51. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 84th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 98 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in the Round 4 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
A conviction pick on Delmar Glaze at the 178th pick that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in No. 195, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
