Restrepo should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Xavier Restrepo tumbling to the Steelers in No. 156 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They let Quinshon Judkins come to them and pounced at the 83rd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A clean, defensible pick in the 123rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Kyle McCord. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
The board fumbled Xavier Restrepo all the way to No. 156, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ajani Cornelius at slot 185 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick229 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens is a better player than pick No. 229 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
