FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
If Nash pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Trapilo pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A curious use of slot 83. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Ozzy Trapilo did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Nick Nash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Nash. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
