Edwards should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Donovan Edwards sat on the board until the 229th overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Mondon Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 21 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A wild overpay on Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 3, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A quiet steal in the 123rd overall pick: Billy Bowman Jr. for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They read the board right and Nick Nash was the payoff at pick 156. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in JJ Pegues. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A running back of that caliber at slot 229 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
