Thirty-one other rooms let Treydan Stukes slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 121st pick. Highway robbery.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Rutledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Hit on Makai Lemon and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Anthony Hill Jr. in pick 53 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They took Dontay Corleone at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A clean, defensible pick in the 76th pick with a little surplus value in Kamari Ramsey. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A wild overpay on Keylan Rutledge in pick 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
You do not let a cornerback like Treydan Stukes reach slot 121 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
A conviction pick on Drew Allar at Round 4, Pick 35 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick No. 161 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keagen Trost at No. 188. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Zane Durant is a better player than the 189th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
