Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malachi Fields got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 121st pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Fa'amoe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 53 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 73rd overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No drama and no debate, Ted Hurst went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in No. 99, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They will replay Malachi Fields at the 121st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in Round 4, Pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Kendrick Law at slot 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in Round 7, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
