A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Cade Klubnik at slot 76 is 57 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The Jones pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. The Corleone pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 21st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at pick No. 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in No. 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone slipping to the 85th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
Logan Jones
A want over a need in pick 99: Logan Jones adds an offensive lineman while safety, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick121
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 21, where Michael Trigg graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
