The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took DeMonte Capehart at slot 242, roughly 61 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Getting Nix where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
A tidy bit of business in the 24th pick, where Nate Wiggins graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Taking Bo Nix in pick 64 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 87 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Blake Fisher while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick95
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in Round 3, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson is a better player than the 120th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Matt Goncalves in pick 121 leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots for later.
Pick126
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Beaux Limmer adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slipping to the 174th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199
Rnd6
Malik Washington
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 199th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 242 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in No. 247, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
