Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Joe Milton III in the 118th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 50 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They jumped the gun on McKinnley Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They reached a country mile for Ainias Smith at the 123rd pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 6, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A premium they did not need to pay, Edefuan Ulofoshio a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
