FutureB-
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Khalil Dinkins at pick No. 224, roughly 106 spots before his name belonged.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while safety, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Landing Orange that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
So much rides on Carnell Tate that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick33
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and pick No. 33 is lovely value for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 50 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in the 99th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Trey Zuhn III at offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick161
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A tidy little value on Drew Allar in No. 161, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in the 216th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224
Rnd7
Khalil Dinkins
Value said wait; Khalil Dinkins in the 224th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at Round 7, Pick 14 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
