Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Taylen Green. He came off 83 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Price. The Farmer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety and edge rusher still on the board.
A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 21 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Markel Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Markel Bell well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ja'Kobi Lane this early at pick 81. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
A big swing on Tacario Davis at the 85th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
A wild overpay on Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 88, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jalen Farmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalen Farmer adds an offensive lineman and leaves safety and edge rusher untouched.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
They reached into another round for Oscar Delp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zxavian Harris
They talked themselves into Zxavian Harris at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jeff Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jeff Caldwell. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Perkins Jr. in the 135th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 161st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
A reach for Zavion Thomas in Round 7, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230
Rnd7
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in the 230th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick237
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 237th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
