Grand theft in slot 231: the Steelers steal King and grade out a B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kobe King, the No. 133 name on the board, in pick No. 231.

Reaching for Shough left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 20: Kaleb Johnson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 83rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Shough well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jermari Harris
They barely believed it either: Jermari Harris still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Vinson in the 225th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kobe King
Kobe King in No. 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They took Torricelli Simpkins III at par in slot 247, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
