A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent Round 6, Pick 3 on Caedan Wallace, a name most had 35 spots down the list.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 20 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick51
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in pick No. 51, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Good price on Cedric Gray in pick 119, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
No edge and no loss on Spencer Rattler in the 120th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the 178th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
