Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for DJ Uiagalelei, 62 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. With safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 23 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Cooper DeJean while clear needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick No. 87 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 113. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 123rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
A quiet steal in slot 201: Jahdae Barron for less than the market said. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick244 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei in slot 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
