FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Steelers did not so much draft Roman Hemby as overpay for him, 69 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Styles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In No. 26 they get a matchup problem out wide, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
The board had Sonny Styles higher than the 53rd pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Carson Beck
Fair-plus on Carson Beck, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A conviction pick on Caden Curry at Round 3, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick 99 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
The board had cheaper options than Jakobe Thomas at slot 121, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss slid further than he should have, and the 133rd pick is lovely value for the quarterback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Nice patience on Michael Trigg, who had no business lasting to the 136th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in slot 160 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick 213 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominic Zvada. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224
Rnd7
London Humphreys
This one needs a full-page explanation: London Humphreys in Round 7, Pick 8, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
Da'Shawn Womack
A big swing on Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 237, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
