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

There is reaching, and then there is Jalen Milroe at slot 62. The Steelers jumped the board by 33 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They took Kaleb Johnson at par in the 50th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at No. 62. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba is a better player than pick No. 95 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
They let Xavier Restrepo come to them and pounced at slot 123. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Phillips at pick 125. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
