Larceny in slot 164 lands the Steelers a B, Wilson and all.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jared Wilson, the No. 110 name on the board, in No. 164.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They are betting Webb proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 21 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach slot 57 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at pick 122. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Somehow Mello Dotson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Clay Webb
The board had cheaper options than Clay Webb at the 225th pick, and it noticed. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
They will replay Kobe Hudson at the 231st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Taking Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 247 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
