The Steelers reached for Oliver and never recovered. Grade: F. The Steelers did not so much draft Collin Oliver as overpay for him, 47 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It bottoms out at a F.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 8th pick they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In the 21st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Good price on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at No. 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
A tidy bit of business in slot 235, where Craig Woodson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 247th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
