Talent trumps need. This is the type of pick that can have the Steelers as a serious contender in the next couple of years as opposed to a DL destined to be no higher than a backup rotational player. This team was devoid of talent at a lot of positions and Khan/Weidl have just crushed these last two drafts. Give me high upside players every time in the middle rounds, even if it comes with a risk.
Yea but the 3rd is not quite just "the middle rounds." I'd say more of early rounds. 3rd rounders are expected to make the team and contribute and we needed CBs and DL.

But we still had some very real needs at CB and DL when they took this "luxury pick." IDK.
They have have Queen then ER that isn’t really suited for coverage. And Holcomb who we have no idea when he will be available. I would say Ilber was a real enough need .

There are 7 rounds in the draft, so the middle rounds are 3-4. Payton Wilson is making the team and will contribute. Khan is trying to build a championship team with talent. You want the old Colbert days of filling needs during this part of the draft with low upside players.

You said that I didn't; it's not a mutually exclusive thing we got here.

First round talent with injury concerns is a fine gamble with a comp 3rd rounder...

My only concern is at CB... particularly slot cb
There are several SCB that are still available, and we have pick 19 to grab DJ James, Kris Abram-Draines or Josh Newton. We could also trade up for TJ Tampa (although Corey Trice may be a better player which we already have) or even another WR (Tez Walker would be fabulous as he has speed 4th - fastest time at the combine and finds ways to get open outside the numbers and in zone coverage). Khristan Boyd is a DL they like a lot. He should be available in the 6th.
