Grand theft in pick No. 241: the Steelers steal Jones and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Sheridan Jones, the No. 212 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King slipping to pick 52 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than the 84th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at No. 119, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in slot 120 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach for Tanor Bortolini in the 198th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach pick No. 241 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
