Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Gavin Bartholomew, 171 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Bowman Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at pick 83, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 3, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 119th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Billy Bowman Jr. in the 123rd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 185 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
They reached into another round for Gavin Bartholomew, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
