FutureB-
A weekend the Steelers spent fighting the board, and losing. F. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Roman Hemby at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 225 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. It is not that Crownover is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the 33rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
No drama and no debate, Gennings Dunker went about where he belonged in pick 44. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a better player than Round 2, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85
Rnd3
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 85th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and tight end to take Dametrious Crownover, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick99
Rnd3
Will Lee III
Value said wait; Will Lee III in Round 3, Pick 35 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Nothing to complain about; Jalon Kilgore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in pick 131, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at No. 135 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
