Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Steelers a D, Kiner and all.

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Kiner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 24 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 52 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 3, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 83rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 90 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 5, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Fair-plus on Trevor Etienne, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Circle this one: Corey Kiner at pick 231 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A straight-up fair deal on Clay Webb at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
