Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

The Dylan McMahon pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 59 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on JT Tuimoloau and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at the 55th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
They took Antwane Wells Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Brooks. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They left a pile of value on the table to take Omar Speights this early at No. 201. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in pick No. 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
