Grand theft in slot 84: the Steelers steal King and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kalen King got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at slot 84.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Bishop proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 20th pick they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton is a better player than pick No. 52 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kalen King
They robbed the room for Kalen King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
Taking Brennan Jackson in Round 6, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at No. 238 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
