FutureA-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Pratt: A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Michael Pratt, the No. 140 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back and tight end still on the board. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In the end it comes back to Darius Robinson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick56
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than pick 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sedrick Van Pran at offensive lineman with running back and tight end open.
Pick84
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 98, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A quiet steal in the 119th pick: Maason Smith for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Somehow Andru Phillips was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 27, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 134th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at the 144th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Michael Pratt
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 174 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
They robbed the room for Tykee Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They barely believed it either: Walter Rouse still on the board at Round 6, Pick 13. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick195
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
Value with a capital V on M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 204, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
