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

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Joe Milton III, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Fair-plus on Jermaine Burton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 98 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A want over a need in the 119th pick: Beaux Limmer adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the 178th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
