Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped McGlothern from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Dwight McGlothern at the 244th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Powers-Johnson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Jackson Powers-Johnson, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at No. 87 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 103 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in the 122nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the 126th pick on Donovan Jackson, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 139, where James Williams graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at pick 201 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 244 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
