Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

The war room fell hard for Jalen Milroe, and it showed at pick 66: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Ransaw to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 31st overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in pick 83, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They reached a country mile for Aeneas Peebles at No. 123, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at pick No. 156 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slipping to the 185th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A safety of that caliber at pick 229 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
