Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at No. 210: 39 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Milton III. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cooper Beebe at offensive lineman with edge rusher, running back and other spots open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 121st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
You do not let a safety like Malik Mustapha reach the 164th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They robbed the room for Joe Milton III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 210 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
