FutureB
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent Round 4, Pick 35 on Diego Pavia, a name most had 104 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Carson Beck
A real head-scratcher, Carson Beck in No. 53 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 85 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
The board fumbled Elijah Sarratt all the way to pick No. 99, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Dametrious Crownover, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick135
Rnd4
Diego Pavia
A wild overpay on Diego Pavia in the 135th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
A tidy bit of business in slot 161, where Demond Claiborne graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at the 214th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Jatta this early at the 216th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224
Rnd7
Dane Key
Dane Key in Round 7, Pick 8 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
