The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Thomas Jr.: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Brian Thomas Jr. tumbling to the Steelers in Round 2, Pick 19 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, safety and other spots still on the board. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Wingo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at the 51st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in No. 84, where Max Melton graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent slot 119 on Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in pick 178. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A premium they did not need to pay, Ryan Flournoy a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
