Steelers analysis - I really, really hate the Pickett pick. You just spent your first round pick on a guy who profiles to have essentially the same ceiling as Trubiskey and a lot of the same limitations, and on top of that you could have almost certainly taken him with one of your next 2 picks because no one else was going to touch a qb until day 2. It really feels like Kevin Colbert just drafted him to shut up all the yinzers who only knew of Pickett because he played at Heinz on Saturdays. Like "this is what you idiots want? Alright.. Have fun with that. I'm retired now."
Pickens I'm good with, we needed a wr to replace juju and he has the size and speed to play outside. Calvin Austin is a fun pick, I don't hate it if we actually integrate him into the offense but if he's just there to return kicks no thanks.
That 3rd round DL is hard to evaluate. He's a tweener but the steelers love that shit for some reason.
Im sorry but I fucking hate taking Connor Heyward in the 6th. I get that it's a favor to his big brother who is a bona-fide Steelers legend at this point but he's another one that I'm pretty sure no one else would have touched. Hes too slow and upright to be an NFL rb and too small and not good enough of a blocker to play TE. People are projecting him as a FB but again, he's not a great blocker and we hardly use Derek Watt who is actually an NFL FB and is making like 4 mil a year playing special teams for us. We don't need two nepotism/charity cases and we definitely don't need to spend draft picks on special teamers.
Also sad the eagles sniped Nakobe Dean out from under us. I wanted him bad. Dean might have been the steal of the draft if he ever gets healthy.
