Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick 216: the Steelers steal Jackson and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Domani Jackson, the No. 179 name on the board, stolen at the 216th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Wagner proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 21 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Fair-plus on Christen Miller, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in slot 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at the 99th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They let Zakee Wheatley come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 4. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Circle this one: Malik Muhammad at pick 121 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A premium they did not need to pay, Aamil Wagner a notch or two before his time. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
They robbed the room for Josh Cameron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They paid sticker price for Zavion Thomas in slot 230, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Kitselman in pick No. 237. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
