The Steelers let Fiske fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Braden Fiske, the No. 58 name on the board, in slot 84.
Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Adding Taylor Moton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Reaching for Sundell left real value on the table behind him.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinyon Mitchell in pick 35. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 48th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at slot 64, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 84 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 3, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A curious use of No. 104. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Zak Zinter did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 116th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in the 144th overall pick, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in Round 6, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick195
Rnd6
Erick All
They took Erick All at par in slot 195, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They liked Jalen Sundell enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 236. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
