Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brandon Cisse, the 230th pick, roughly 194 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In No. 21 they get a franchise quarterback, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
Taking Mansoor Delane in slot 53 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
Carnell Tate at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Spencer Fano · OT · rank 10
They barely believed it either: Spencer Fano still on the board at the 85th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · David Bailey · LB-EDGE · rank 5
The board fumbled David Bailey all the way to pick 99, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
A tight end of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 21 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jordyn Tyson · WR · rank 9
Jordyn Tyson at No. 135 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Jermod McCoy · CB · rank 18
You do not let a cornerback like Jermod McCoy reach pick No. 161 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 80
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at slot 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
Ja'Kobi Lane in the 224th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Brandon Cisse · CB · rank 36
Brandon Cisse at slot 230 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 70
They robbed the room for Chase Bisontis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
