The Steelers won the night they stopped DeJean from sliding. Grade: B. Somebody in the 80th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Cooper DeJean, the No. 60 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
With running back unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Every board in the league had Laumea lower, and that gap is the story. The veteran additions, Dax Hill chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
A cornerback of that caliber at the 80th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Spencer Rattler
A reasonable price with a little left over, Spencer Rattler in No. 99. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Fair-plus on Brenden Rice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 130 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
A curious use of pick No. 131. Running back needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Sataoa Laumea did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in the 134th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the 237th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
