FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers. The war room fell hard for Sedrick Van Pran, and it showed at the 62nd overall pick: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with running back and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
The Proctor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and tight end to take Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is a better player than slot 73 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They paid a round early for Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at the 112th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
No drama and no debate, Kris Abrams-Draine went about where he belonged in slot 117. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A curious use of pick No. 120. Running back and tight end needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Javon Foster did not.
Pick130
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Value with a capital V on Malik Washington in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A clean, defensible pick in pick 148 with a little surplus value in Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 39 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
They let Josh Proctor come to them and pounced at the 198th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A tidy bit of business in the 208th overall pick, where Jordan Magee graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Good price on Steele Chambers in No. 228, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
