SCB0019 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers

Larceny in No. 99 lands the Steelers a B, Leavitt and all. The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sam Leavitt, the No. 66 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 35. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Hobbs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62
Rnd2
Arvell Reese
A slide stopped in No. 62, with Arvell Reese worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
A tidy little value on Antonio Williams in slot 76, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They took Cayden Green at par in pick 94, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at Round 3, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in the 130th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Nice patience on Tacario Davis, who had no business lasting to pick No. 133. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the 171st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179
Rnd5
Taylen Green
No drama and no debate, Taylen Green went about where he belonged in the 179th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210
Rnd6
Desmond Reid
This one needs a full-page explanation: Desmond Reid in No. 210, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
Value said wait; Daevin Hobbs in the 216th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
A quiet steal in slot 247: Robert Spears-Jennings for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
