Preparing myself for Steelers moving up to get Sanders losing an asset to do it for no reason and then trading Pickens for a 3rd and having just one WR again.

Just say no to Sanders. Trade back and get more picks.

Catching up on the NFL draft. Derrick Harmon had multiple team hats in front of him before he was selected by the Steelers. He didn't know what team would draft him, so he had to find the Steelers cap out of the group.

Good for him to be on TV with his family as the pick was announced. Good to show a family bond celebration.

Definitely needed a DL here, glad one was available.

That was a really good pick for a position of need. Him and Benton should be a nice tandem for years.

Doubt he'll be available. I can definitely see the Browns taking him with one of their picks.

Good, let him go to the Browns. He'll be nothing but a mediocre QB with a sideshow.

Sanders still there midway through the 3rd and I don't see him being taken by anyone ahead of the Steelers at 83.

Kaleb Johnson was an awesome pick. Limited in the passing game, but I'm sure he'll improve. He'll only be 22 when the season starts.

Johnson the right pick.

Browns were having a great draft imo, but then picked up a guy in the 3rd round whose ceiling is backup QB. Very strange pick.

What's even more strange is taking Sanders 2 rounds later. Thing is, Pickett is still the best QB on that roster.

I thought it was a really good draft.

DL went from an aging weakness to 3 young should be studs.
RB got a workhorse that will be a far better fit than Harris was. His measurables and film are Le'Veon Bell though Bell was a far better receiver and route runner. Johnson ought to improve as he gets more experience.
The Edge rusher will be pretty good and although not really a need it'll stop the Steelers from finding random Edge scrubs as the #4.
Will Howard will be either be the steal of the draft or a very good backup for a long time.
As with all other years, don't really care about the 7th round, if they're good then awesome but that is more about the 5 year draft grade than going into this one.

Overall, I'd give it a B or a B+
