The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending No. 119 on Blake Fisher with quarterback, safety and other spots still wide open.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Legette in pick No. 51. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 20. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in pick 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Jefferson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 195th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
