Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Reed from sliding. Grade: B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaylen Reed, the No. 189 name on the board, in No. 229. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They went early on Jalen Milroe in the 83rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They paid up for Rylie Mills at pick 123 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at No. 156, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Giddens in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 7, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
