You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Donovan Smith at pick 173, roughly 82 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Phillips steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding Zaven Collins by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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