Larceny in pick 195 lands the Steelers a C+, Wallace and all.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Caedan Wallace, the No. 135 name on the board, in No. 195.

Eichenberg has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
In slot 20 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at No. 51, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the 98th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Matt Goncalves, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 178, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at Round 6, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
