You could see the war room lean forward. Will Howard at pick 163 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

It is not that Cornelius is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If Golden pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
