The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: C.

There is reaching, and then there is DJ Uiagalelei at pick No. 185. The Steelers jumped the board by 123 and dared it to prove them wrong. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Restrepo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 21 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 70 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A quiet steal in slot 123: Xavier Restrepo for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bhayshul Tuten. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei in pick 185 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They let Craig Woodson come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
