Steelers' Draft: Aggressive Stars Over Consensus

0:00On April 29, Pittsburgh Steelers hit the NFL Draft with 10 picks after some slick trades from their original 12. They stacked the roster, but how they stack up against the consensus bigboard, that's the spot aggregating rankings from everywhere online for A. Clear value check. Most of their guys went earlier than expected, marking them as reaches. Take offensive tackle Max Ihanakor at 21 overall versus 33 on the board, or wide-out Jeremy Bernard at 47 against 51. Quarterback Drew Allers slid in at 76, way ahead of his 121 spot, and cornered Dalen Everett at 85 B-1, 102. Fans and analysts are buzzing, because this shows the Steelers swinging big early, betting on upside-over say fits. It fits their gritty style grab talent now, developed later, but risks missing proven value, deeper in the draft. Their lines and secondary get immediate boost if these kids pan out. Diving deeper, only three picks landed after their board spots.

1:03Real Steel's like offensive lineman Jennings Dunker at 96 versus 65. Safety, Robert Spears Jennings at 224, B-210, and wide-out runner Eli Hydenreich at 230 top 201. Worst value was defensive lineman Gay Brubio at 210 no board ranking at all, highlighting the gamble. Overall, Pittsburgh leaned aggressive, chasing stars over consensus sleepers, setting up a high reward rebuild.
