Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Wells Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-. You could see the war room lean forward. Antwane Wells Jr. at the 229th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Zabel pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In slot 21 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick83
Rnd3
Savion Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore is a better player than pick 156 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Raheim Sanders in the 185th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
They will replay Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 229 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
