The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Blake Fisher at the 84th pick regardless, 34 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Limmer pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick84
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 84 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Beaux Limmer in the 119th overall pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick178
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at slot 178. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman slipping to the 195th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
