Grand theft in slot 135: the Steelers steal Stowers and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Eli Stowers slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 35. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Wagner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 21 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Arvell Reese in the 53rd pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They read the board right and Germie Bernard was the payoff at pick 76. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 85th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christen Miller
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Christen Miller reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
They took Billy Schrauth at par in pick No. 121, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at Round 4, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A premium they did not need to pay, Aamil Wagner a notch or two before his time. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cade Klubnik
Steal is underselling it; Cade Klubnik at the 216th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jaeden Roberts
The board fumbled Jaeden Roberts all the way to the 224th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at pick No. 230 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Nice patience on Zavion Thomas, who had no business lasting to No. 237. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
