You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Bud Clark at pick 121, roughly 87 spots before his name belonged.

Thieneman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
