FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Franklin: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Troy Franklin tumbling to the Steelers in the 84th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Steelers paired the rookies with proven help, Chris Godwin leading the way.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
Taking Troy Franklin in the 84th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to No. 98 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Nothing to complain about; Josh Newton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 178 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 20 with a little surplus value in M.J. Devonshire. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
