A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-. Nobody had Drew Allar this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 24 spots to get him at the 121st pick.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The Lane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 76, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
They let Ja'Kobi Lane come to them and pounced at pick 85. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
They talked themselves into Keylan Rutledge at No. 99, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick121
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses at No. 135 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
No edge and no loss on Jalen Farmer in the 159th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
