The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: D+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent the 52nd pick on Sedrick Van Pran, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick52
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in the 52nd pick: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
A reach for Tykee Smith in pick No. 84; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119
Rnd4
Johnny Dixon
They took Johnny Dixon at par in slot 119, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached a country mile for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 4, Pick 21, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the 241st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
