Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Marks should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Woody Marks fell into the 225th pick.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Alexander left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 21 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at Round 2, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They let Nick Nash come to them and pounced at the 163rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Woody Marks
You do not let a running back like Woody Marks reach No. 225 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They robbed the room for Ricky White III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They took Cody Lindenberg at par in the 247th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
