Larceny in slot 239 lands the Steelers a B, Pearsall and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky Pearsall slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 239th pick. Highway robbery.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrion Arnold. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 58 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sedrick Van Pran while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in slot 82. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Christian Mahogany at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick118 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They paid sticker price for Junior Colson in No. 118, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
Fair-plus on Max Melton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
A slide stopped in the 139th pick, with Gabriel Murphy worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board had Smael Mondon Jr. higher than No. 142, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in Round 5, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
Nice patience on Jason Marshall Jr., who had no business lasting to the 157th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick196 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
They let Theo Johnson come to them and pounced at slot 196. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Somehow Ricky Pearsall was still sitting there in pick 239, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
