FutureC+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Josh Proctor, 58 picks early at the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Landing Burke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
The veteran additions, Isiah Pacheco chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 16 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick54
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 54 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 80th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in pick 116. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in the 120th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J. Michael Sturdivant at slot 122, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They paid up for Jordan Travis at pick 126 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
They talked themselves into Ajani Cornelius at the 163rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They did well to land Jaylan Ford in No. 168, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 222nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
