FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B. The Steelers put a flag in the ground for DeMonte Capehart, 76 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
That Lassiter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Taking Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 7: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick88
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Tykee Smith a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 120th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in pick No. 121; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 135th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in pick No. 199, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Value with a capital V on Josh Proctor in slot 219, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 227 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in the 242nd overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
