Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Steelers a B-, Lewis and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Robert Lewis tumbling to the Steelers in No. 244 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
By-the-book stuff, Nate Wiggins at the 23rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slipping to slot 55 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tate Ratledge this early at the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at the 123rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in No. 201 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Robert Lewis
Robert Lewis in pick 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
