FutureB
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Tuimoloau at that price is a win they earned.
It is not that Mahogany is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The cost of the Melton reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
They did well to land Emeka Egbuka in No. 32, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau slipping to the 48th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in pick 63, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Michael Hall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Christian Mahogany adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback and running back untouched.
Pick101
Rnd4
Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at pick No. 101, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 113th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
James Williams
They went early on James Williams in slot 116, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194
Rnd6
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 194th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ricky Pearsall
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 201, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A tidy little value on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 209th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in No. 215 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
