ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot. The Steelers jumped the board by 68 and dared it to prove them wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Harris at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 23rd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at Round 3, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at slot 163 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at pick 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer at No. 231 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
