You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Will Kacmarek in the Round 7 slot.

Scott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 19
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 65
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zachariah Branch in pick 76. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 73
Domonique Orange slid further than he should have, and the 85th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 63
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in No. 99, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 158
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at slot 121, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 161
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Stephens. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 227
They went early on Kaelon Black in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Jack Pyburn · LB-EDGE · rank 290
A wild overpay on Jack Pyburn in pick No. 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Harrison Wallace III · WR · rank 217
Harrison Wallace III slipping to pick 230 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Will Kacmarek · TE · rank 319
A real head-scratcher, Will Kacmarek in the 237th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
