FutureA+
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sedrick Van Pran, 35 picks early at slot 55. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
However the rest shakes out, Clark at that price is a win they earned. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Van Pran pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kiran Amegadjie and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick53
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A want over a need in the 55th pick: Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 88 on Cooper Beebe, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than No. 95, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the 102nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 120th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 121 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Javon Foster while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Magee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
BJ Mayes
Value with a capital V on BJ Mayes in Round 7, Pick 18, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in pick No. 239 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Mark Perry
A tidy little value on Mark Perry in the 242nd pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
