Larceny in No. 231 lands the Steelers a C, Hancock and all.

When a board-topper like Jordan Hancock slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They are betting Gregory proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 21st overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 61 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 83 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
No edge and no loss on Kyle McCord in the 122nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 163 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at pick No. 199. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A safety of that caliber at the 231st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Taking Trevor Etienne in No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They will replay LaJohntay Wester at the 247th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at pick No. 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
