The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Hardy: B-. Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Daequan Hardy, the No. 195 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at No. 51. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
The board fumbled Kiran Amegadjie all the way to pick No. 84, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen McMillan in the 107th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in pick 120, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A tidy little value on Khristian Boyd in the 184th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
Quietly one of the better values of the day, M.J. Devonshire at the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in Round 7, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
