FutureA
The Steelers let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. The Steelers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Steelers indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Foster lower, and that gap is the story.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Quinyon Mitchell and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 76th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in slot 90 leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick100
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach pick No. 100 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A conviction pick on Darius Robinson at No. 108 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 114 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Dominick Puni while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 131st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 23, more than the board wanted. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick236
Rnd7
Omar Speights
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
The board had Jha'Quan Jackson higher than pick No. 238, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at No. 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at Round 7, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
They paid sticker price for Zakhari Franklin in No. 248, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
