The Steelers let Clark fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.
The Clark pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 21 they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick53
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Hill Jr. at the 53rd pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Germie Bernard in No. 76, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange is a better player than the 85th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
Steal is underselling it; Daylen Everette at slot 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Bud Clark
They will replay Bud Clark at pick No. 121 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Joe Royer slid further than he should have, and slot 135 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
