A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a C-. The Matthew Jones pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 103 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
On value alone, Harris makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
It is not that Nubin is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 4 on Tyler Nubin with safety and running back unsolved.
Pick70
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in No. 70 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
No drama and no debate, Nazir Stackhouse went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in the 87th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They reached into another round for Junior Colson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A curious use of pick 119. Safety and running back needed the pick; a defensive back in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Donovan Jackson adds an offensive lineman and leaves safety and running back untouched.
Pick128
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
They paid sticker price for Joe Milton III in the 128th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 149 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
They paid a round early for Kamal Hadden in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Cam Hart
A reach on Cam Hart in slot 162; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bru McCoy in No. 200. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 211th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at the 246th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
