The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Brady Cook, 135 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They did well to land Tyler Warren in slot 21, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in the 52nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tez Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at No. 125, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 161st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick No. 199, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in slot 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at No. 229 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jay Toia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jay Toia in the 245th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
