FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent pick 30 on Kingsley Suamataia, a name most had 31 spots down the list.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Van Pran pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, safety and other spots.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Melton.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kingsley Suamataia
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick51
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick62
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84
Rnd3
Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick 84, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in No. 113. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Nothing to complain about; Elijah Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178
Rnd6
Brandon Coleman
They took Brandon Coleman at par in Round 6, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
