Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Jalen Milroe at the Round 2 slot. The Steelers jumped the board by 34 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They banked enough surplus on Alexander to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in slot 61, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 83rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in pick No. 123, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Brown in pick 156. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 185th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie is a better player than pick 229 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
