Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kendall Milton at No. 195, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

It is not that Rosengarten is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
By-the-book stuff, Terrion Arnold at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Roger Rosengarten at offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in the 98th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They talked themselves into Luke McCaffrey at the 119th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kendall Milton. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
