FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Steelers: C. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Miles Kitselman, 167 picks early at Round 2, Pick 21. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Capehart. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Hit on Oscar Delp and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Oscar Delp
In the 21st overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Miles Kitselman
Value said wait; Miles Kitselman in the 53rd pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Romello Height
They robbed the room for Romello Height here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
You do not let a cornerback like D'Angelo Ponds reach pick No. 85 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at Round 3, Pick 35. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Keyron Crawford
They went early on Keyron Crawford in slot 121, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in pick 135 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cyrus Allen
The board fumbled Cyrus Allen all the way to Round 6, Pick 35, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
Steal is underselling it; DeMonte Capehart at slot 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Aaron Anderson
Taking Aaron Anderson in the 230th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237
Rnd7
Taylen Green
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 237 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
