The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Klubnik: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Cade Klubnik, the No. 70 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 133.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Alexander left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordyn Tyson in the 20th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51
Rnd2
Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in the 51st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They read the board right and Darrell Jackson Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 78. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99
Rnd3
Justice Haynes
No edge and no loss on Justice Haynes in Round 3, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 120 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Taking Cade Klubnik in No. 133 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159
Rnd5
Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III in slot 159 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181
Rnd5
Josh Moten
They jumped the gun on Josh Moten, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to Round 6, Pick 21, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Taylen Green
They will replay Taylen Green at No. 214 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
