Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Steelers to leave a draft.

On value alone, Cowing makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A tidy little value on J.J. McCarthy in No. 53, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than pick No. 85, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 120th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Cowing at slot 121 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Erick All
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 22, where Erick All graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
