Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Payton Wilson fell into slot 84.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They went early on Ricky Pearsall in No. 51, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Payton Wilson at pick No. 84 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Value with a capital V on Dominick Puni in pick 98, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Beaux Limmer adds an offensive lineman and leaves safety, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A quiet steal in slot 195: Jordan Jefferson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
