Larceny in No. 238 lands the Steelers a B, Wiley and all.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jared Wiley, the No. 216 name on the board, in the 238th pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Reaching for Bishop left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They let J.J. McCarthy come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 84th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A reach for Cole Bishop in pick 120; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Circle this one: Roger Rosengarten at the 197th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Taking Jared Wiley in pick No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
