More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

Nobody else had Blake Fisher anywhere near Round 3, Pick 20. The Steelers did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots still on the board. The McGlothern steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They did well to land Roman Wilson in Round 2, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A surprising call. With edge rusher, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent slot 84 on Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at pick 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in No. 119, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They paid a round early for Beau Brade in the 124th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A slide stopped in slot 178, with Dwight McGlothern worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 195 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in No. 251 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
