Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Kendall Milton, 115 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

It is not that Powers-Johnson is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 20 they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A want over a need in pick No. 52: Jackson Powers-Johnson adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at No. 84 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Abrams-Draine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 120th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Nothing to complain about; JD Bertrand went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They talked themselves into Kendall Milton at the 241st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
