The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Skyler Bell slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Dexter Lawrence II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at the 53rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Value with a capital V on Jacob Rodriguez in the 85th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
Circle this one: Elijah Sarratt at Round 3, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 84
Somehow Skyler Bell was still sitting there in pick 121, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 137
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 156
Good price on Drew Allar in No. 161, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Tyren Montgomery · WR · rank 215
Tyren Montgomery in slot 216 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Keyshaun Elliott · LB · rank 219
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 224 with a little surplus value in Keyshaun Elliott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Miles Kitselman · TE · rank 224
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Kitselman in the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 220
Nice patience on Thaddeus Dixon, who had no business lasting to the 237th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
