The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Berger: B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Steelers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
Berger falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Foster pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 52nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick93
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in No. 101, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 4, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Javon Foster, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick126
Rnd4
Malik Washington
They did well to land Malik Washington in slot 126, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Nice patience on Jalyx Hunt, who had no business lasting to pick 139. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick149
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 5, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
No edge and no loss on Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in pick No. 186, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ethan Driskell
They will replay Ethan Driskell at No. 204 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Williams in the 213th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jontrey Hunter
Value with a capital V on Jontrey Hunter in the 230th pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in pick No. 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at pick 248 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
Fair-plus on Maurice Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253
Rnd7
Mark Perry
The board had Mark Perry higher than the 253rd overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
