Larceny in pick No. 120 lands the Steelers a B-, Hall Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 120 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 84. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 4, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 138th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at pick 162 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
A safety of that caliber at slot 178 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 195th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
