FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Golday: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Golday got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at slot 85.
They will need Stephens to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
No edge and no loss on Dontay Corleone in the 63rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 76th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach No. 85 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at slot 135 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
Fair-plus on Thaddeus Dixon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zavion Thomas in the 224th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Luke Altmyer
They took Luke Altmyer at par in the 230th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
Josh Cuevas
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Cuevas at Round 7, Pick 21, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
