Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 3 on Joe Milton III a full 22 spots early.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That Polk pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Patrick Paul while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 119. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A reach on Jaylan Ford in pick 195; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
