FutureB
The Steelers let Hart fall and pounced. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Hart at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
Eguakun has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. With edge rusher and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A clean, defensible pick in the 42nd pick with a little surplus value in Xavier Legette. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 61st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 84 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
A reasonable price with a little left over, Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 23. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in No. 98; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Blake Fisher at offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open.
Pick164
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 188th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Taking Walter Rouse in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kendall Milton
Fair-plus on Kendall Milton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kingsley Eguakun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Eguakun in pick 249, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
