Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Paul Jr.: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 117 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 21 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in pick No. 57, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 89 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in the 157th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A quiet steal in pick 226: Hunter Wohler for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 235 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
Good price on Aubrey Burks in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
