The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Joe Milton III; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 22 spots ahead at slot 178.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while safety, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 20 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 84th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in Round 3, Pick 35, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Blake Fisher with safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 20, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
