FutureA
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Chambliss: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Trinidad Chambliss at slot 229 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
It is not that Tiernan is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Zuhn III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 32nd overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick45
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 45. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78
Rnd3
LaNorris Sellers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing LaNorris Sellers in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brian Parker II. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Caleb Tiernan
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 13 on Caleb Tiernan with edge rusher and tight end unsolved.
Pick133
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 133rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 154 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
No drama and no debate, Makhi Hughes went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214
Rnd6
Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun at pick 214 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 217th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229
Rnd7
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
