Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 156th pick: the Steelers steal Strong and grade out a B+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dorian Strong fell into slot 156. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Mickens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 24th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in pick No. 83, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Milroe at the 97th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Value said wait; Logan Brown in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They robbed the room for Dorian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A big swing on R.J. Mickens at Round 6, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at pick 229, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
