A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent the Round 7 slot on Roman Hemby, a name the board had a full 45 spots lower.
Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Iheanachor pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at pick No. 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Sarratt at slot 59 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at No. 76 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85
Rnd3
Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick99
Rnd3
Caden Curry
They paid sticker price for Caden Curry in the 99th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Max Iheanachor, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick135
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Circle this one: Trinidad Chambliss at the 135th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
They let Ted Hurst come to them and pounced at slot 159. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213
Rnd6
Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick214
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
A reasonable price with a little left over, Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 6, Pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in pick No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at the 237th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A straight-up fair deal on Micah Morris at No. 244, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
