KamE DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Hood: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Colton Hood slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Owens II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Colton Hood
Somehow Colton Hood was still sitting there in the 53rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
You do not let a wide receiver like Germie Bernard reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal in pick 85 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik slid further than he should have, and No. 99 is lovely value for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slipping to slot 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Blake Miller
A tidy bit of business in the 135th pick, where Blake Miller graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick159
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Max Iheanachor in pick No. 159, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Nolan Rucci
They let Nolan Rucci come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 34. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick214
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 214th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224
Rnd7
Rueben Owens II
A big swing on Rueben Owens II at slot 224, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237
Rnd7
PJ Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and PJ Williams at pick No. 237 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
