Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureC
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent the Round 4 slot on Joe Milton III, a name the board had a full 74 spots lower. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and running back.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Wallace to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 31 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 3; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A curious use of the 51st pick. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Zach Frazier did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at pick No. 84, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 96th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 125th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 32. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick157 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in No. 157 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They went early on Cornelius Johnson in the 176th pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They did well to land Elijah Jones in pick No. 197, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 200 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 201 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 209th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
No edge and no loss on Garret Greenfield in pick 215; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They took Tanner McLachlan at par in the 222nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trajan Jeffcoat this early at No. 238. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
