The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Reaching for McMillan left real value on the table behind him. The L'Jarius Sneed deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
