FutureA+
Larceny in pick No. 241 lands the Steelers a B, Jordan and all. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jawhar Jordan tumbling to the Steelers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in No. 37. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback and tight end open.
Pick99
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at slot 99. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at Round 4, Pick 3. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 105th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent pick 119 on Javon Foster, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick120
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Value with a capital V on Beau Brade in the 120th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Good price on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 130, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They did well to land Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 163rd pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 15. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick198
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 198th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Steal is underselling it; Jawhar Jordan at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zakhari Franklin in No. 243. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
They barely believed it either: Jase McClellan still on the board at pick 249. A need, and now a little less of one.
