FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dylan Braithwaite at pick 159, a reach of 148 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smothers. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 21st pick they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53
Rnd2
Brendan Sorsby
A slide stopped in the 53rd overall pick, with Brendan Sorsby worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Terry Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Terry Moore in pick 76. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jehiem Oatis
Value said wait; Jehiem Oatis in Round 3, Pick 21 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121
Rnd4
Sammy Omosigho
A real head-scratcher, Sammy Omosigho in No. 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala at slot 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones at pick 135 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dylan Braithwaite
Dylan Braithwaite in slot 159 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Maraad Watson
They reached into another round for Maraad Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Rueben Owens II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rueben Owens II in the 213th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Smith Snowden
They paid up for Smith Snowden at the 214th pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Chris Marshall
Chris Marshall at pick No. 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Hollywood Smothers
Hollywood Smothers in Round 7, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
