Looks like it was a 6th rounder according to O'Halloran

I also hope to see Josh retire a Jag in the future.
This. And I hope Myers has Scobee-like ice in his veins for the close calls because from what we've seen so far, this team has not arrived yet. I believe Blake has advanced light years from this time last year, but the team, not so much.
I know a lot of people think we need to move away from "the FG score just saved our bacon!" mindset and into the "we are going to win with TD's" one. And I agree. But it is nice that we have had a solid player who we knew could put points on the board (almost) no matter what. The team no longer has that safety net so it's definitely a "we ARE GOING TO win with TD's".

A 6th for Gabbert and a 6th for a kicker? Caldwell really is a genius.

One of the greatest mysteries in history is how he was able to get a 6th for Gabbert.

Turned that pick into Bowanko who has been a great center.
Caldwells track record of solid late round picks offsets the cons of going into the season without a proven kicker.

I dunno about "great."
He started last year, almost by default.
He didn't often induce projectile vomiting when he played.
Bowanko was okay.
An 6th for Scobee is a steal for the Steelers. I was kinda hoping for an 5th but as others have stated, Caldwell does well within the late rounds...
NH3...

Could probably have gotten a 5th had Pitt had a 5th to give.

It's pretty simple, actually. Scobee is one of the better kickers in NFL history, but because kickers are fairly low-value players (until you spend a year with Seth Marler, anyway), he's only worth a six. Gabbert is one of the worse quarterbacks in NFL history, but because quarterbacks are high-value players, he's still worth a six. It's a remarkable balance, really.
The welcoming committee is ready
