Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Steelers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Bishop value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will need Hart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 20th overall pick they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in pick No. 53, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A reach on Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 20; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the 97th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They read the board right and Cole Bishop was the payoff at pick 120. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A tidy bit of business in slot 238, where Tyler Owens graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
