Nix is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Steelers spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the 20th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 52, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84
Rnd3
James Williams
Value said wait; James Williams in pick No. 84 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to pick 119 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 198th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
