Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent pick No. 120 on Logan Lee, a name the board had a full 35 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Colson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 20 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to pick 84 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the 88th pick, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at pick No. 120, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at Round 4, Pick 21 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
They jumped the gun on David Ugwoegbu, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
