Pittsburgh Steelers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 83 spots for Wesley Williams, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 11
In pick No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 34
Dillon Thieneman in No. 53 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 101
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nicholas Singleton well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 129
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 49
They will replay A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 152
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in pick 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 124
Parker Brailsford at slot 135 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 138
The board fumbled CJ Daniels all the way to the 161st pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Isaiah Jatta · OT · rank 237
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Jatta this early at the 216th overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Daevin Hobbs · DL · rank 265
Daevin Hobbs at No. 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Wesley Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 313
A wild overpay on Wesley Williams in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 221
Lander Barton slipping to pick No. 237 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
