No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Gennings Dunker got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 76th overall pick.

The cost of the Louis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 21 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a better player than No. 53 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Gennings Dunker in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keionte Scott in slot 85. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the 121st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 135th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in pick No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They liked J. Michael Sturdivant enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 213. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Zuhn III in pick 214. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
They paid sticker price for Isaac Smith in slot 224, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Gunner Stockton
They barely believed it either: Gunner Stockton still on the board at the 237th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
