FutureA-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B. It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at Round 4, Pick 18.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Mustapha falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Brian Robinson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cam Hart
Good price on Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A curious use of the 119th overall pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Javon Foster did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 170 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 171 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173
Rnd5
M.J. Devonshire
They liked M.J. Devonshire enough to skip the value, taking him in the 173rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick No. 194 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 240th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
