Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Jordan Travis in slot 119.

The Puni pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, edge rusher and other spots. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas Jr..

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 84th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots to take Dominick Puni, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in No. 178 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 195. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
