Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

Larceny in No. 240 lands the Steelers a B-, McLachlan and all.

It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at pick 118. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The McLachlan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims

In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.

Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa

They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in No. 51, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette

Nice patience on Xavier Legette, who had no business lasting to the 84th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick118 Rnd4 Maason Smith

They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.

Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams

A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
