MoWeez DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Nobody else had Kendrick Law anywhere near pick 224. The Steelers did, by 25 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The Neal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 21st overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Good price on Caleb Banks in the 53rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Taurean York
Nice patience on Taurean York, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 21. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Julian Neal in slot 99, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
A reach on Kyle Louis in Round 4, Pick 35; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They took Taylen Green at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
No edge and no loss on Tristan Leigh in No. 213; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214
Rnd6
Roderick Kearney
A wild overpay on Roderick Kearney in pick No. 214, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick224
Rnd7
Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law at the 224th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jacobe Johnson
A tidy little value on Jacobe Johnson in slot 237, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
