FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Fano. Final grade: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Spencer Fano got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 153.
The Steelers indulged a want in Green while a need in linebacker, running back and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.
They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick47
Rnd2
LaNorris Sellers
They will replay LaNorris Sellers at pick No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in Round 3, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jermod McCoy
You do not let a cornerback like Jermod McCoy reach the 98th pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cayden Green
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Cayden Green in slot 114 leaves linebacker, running back and other spots for later.
Pick115
Rnd4
LT Overton
Circle this one: LT Overton at the 115th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at No. 133. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153
Rnd5
Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at pick No. 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick154
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Somehow Domani Jackson was still sitting there in the 154th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176
Rnd5
Chandler Rivers
The board fumbled Chandler Rivers all the way to Round 5, Pick 38, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 192 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jalon Kilgore
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Kilgore at the 211th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
