Hard to poke a hole in the Steelers' weekend: A-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Gabe Hall, 55 picks early at Round 5, Pick 23. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
However the rest shakes out, Hardy at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is not that Amegadjie is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In the end it comes back to Tyler Guyton, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 68th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Somehow Roman Wilson was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 84 on Kiran Amegadjie with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick101
Rnd4
Xavier Worthy
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Worthy at slot 101 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 104th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 16 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Foster at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Javon Baker
They will replay Javon Baker at the 121st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in slot 148, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
They barely believed it either: Luke McCaffrey still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
Circle this one: M.J. Devonshire at the 216th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They robbed the room for Caedan Wallace here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and the 234th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
You do not let a safety like Josh Proctor reach pick No. 238 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 243 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 246th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
