FutureC+
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C- to match. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Samson Okunlola. He came off 382 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
That Coleman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Carmona pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman still on the board. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Hit on Samson Okunlola and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Samson Okunlola
In No. 21 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick44
Rnd2
Fernando Mendoza
They robbed the room for Fernando Mendoza here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Shawn Murphy
A big swing on Shawn Murphy at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Fernando Carmona
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Fernando Carmona while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Justin Joly
No edge and no loss on Justin Joly in pick No. 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at Round 4, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at slot 161 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Brent Austin
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brent Austin. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237
Rnd7
Oscar Delp
Steal is underselling it; Oscar Delp at pick 237 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
