Luiz DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Ransaw: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Caleb Ransaw slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Every board in the league had Shough lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They paid a round early for Cam Skattebo in slot 83, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Shough this early at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy little value on O'Donnell Fortune in the 156th pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 185 with a little surplus value in Jack Kiser. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Circle this one: Caleb Ransaw at the 229th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
