Call it larceny. Aaron Anderson sat on the board until No. 230, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Wagner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In No. 21 they get a blindside protector at fair value. More want than need.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 34
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 42
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Josiah Trotter · LB · rank 56
You do not let a linebacker like Josiah Trotter reach pick 85 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
They will replay Daylen Everette at the 99th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 112
They let Ted Hurst come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 21. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Aamil Wagner · OT · rank 167
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Aamil Wagner in the 135th overall pick leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
R5.21 · Pick 161 · Nate Boerkircher · TE · rank 154
Nate Boerkircher at slot 161 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.35 · Pick 216 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 170
Circle this one: Domani Jackson at pick 216 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 232
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Nwankpa a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.14 · Pick 230 · Aaron Anderson · WR · rank 172
Steal is underselling it; Aaron Anderson at No. 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · VJ Payne · S · rank 187
VJ Payne in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
