FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B+. The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
It is not that Amegadjie is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson.
Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 30th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 52 leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
Pick65
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sedrick Van Pran at offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
No drama and no debate, Kris Abrams-Draine went about where he belonged in slot 120. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and tight end to take Dominick Puni, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick127
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 127 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams at slot 137 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A slide stopped in pick No. 188, with Curtis Jacobs worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 198th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A tidy bit of business in the 224th pick, where Sam Hartman graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick 238 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
