Larceny in Round 6, Pick 20 lands the Steelers a B-, Hadden and all.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 167 name on the board, sitting there at slot 195 like a gift left on the doorstep.

It is not that Amegadjie is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
A straight-up fair deal on Graham Barton at No. 20, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kiran Amegadjie adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at slot 98 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
No edge and no loss on McKinnley Jackson in pick 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Grayson Murphy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 195 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steal is underselling it; Steele Chambers at No. 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
