Not drywall screws. Here's a link for construction screws:

Jim,

I don't believe there is an actual "Construction Screw" per se. It is
probably a name that JD Copeland Supply has decided to call these
screws.

With that said I agree with the others that they are probably OK. But
you may want to test them before you commit to full use.
