Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureC+
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

The Jalen Coker pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 72 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

On value alone, Bertrand makes the weekend a net positive. The Fisher pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, running back and other spots still on the board.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at Round 2, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 64 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick 84 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in slot 98, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in the 119th pick leaves safety, running back and other spots for later.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 173rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 174 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at Round 6, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Circle this one: M.J. Devonshire at No. 216 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at pick 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
