Call it larceny. Skyler Bell sat on the board until the 121st overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at slot 21, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 53rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach pick 76 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
Steal is underselling it; Daylen Everette at Round 3, Pick 35 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 88
Skyler Bell in pick No. 121 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in No. 135, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
A clean, defensible pick in the 161st pick with a little surplus value in Drew Allar. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Riley Nowakowski · TE · rank 216
Riley Nowakowski in pick 216 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Aiden Fisher · LB · rank 229
By-the-book stuff, Aiden Fisher at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Isaiah Nwokobia · S · rank 233
They took Isaiah Nwokobia at par in pick No. 230, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 242
Eli Heidenreich at No. 237 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
