You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Xavier Truss in pick No. 231. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Thornton Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
