The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Green: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trey'Dez Green got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 77th pick.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Lauck lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Trevor Lauck
In No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all.
Pick49 Rnd2 Clev Lubin
Value with a capital V on Clev Lubin in slot 49, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
A tight end of that caliber at pick 77 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sammy Brown
Taking Sammy Brown in the 80th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Xavier Atkins
Circle this one: Xavier Atkins at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brody Foley
They will replay Brody Foley at pick No. 190 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Sahir West
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Sahir West reach Round 6, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 King Mack
King Mack at the 224th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dezz Ricks
Dezz Ricks in slot 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
