FutureB
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sedrick Van Pran adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick120
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 121st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 198th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in Round 7, Pick 18 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
