FutureA
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
The Grant pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Hamilton left real value on the table behind him.
The Moore pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 52nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 56 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at the 83rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A want over a need in slot 87: Charles Grant adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick88
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
No edge and no loss on Quinn Ewers in pick 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Nothing to complain about; Joshua Farmer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the 125th overall pick on Hollin Pierce, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Jackson Slater, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick156
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Moore in the 156th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Good price on Jack Kiser in slot 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 5: Caleb Ransaw for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at pick No. 223 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in pick 229, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
A reach on CJ Dippre in the 232nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 234 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Hamilton in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
A tidy little value on LaJohntay Wester in pick No. 256, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
