Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

The Steelers did not so much draft Jalen Milroe as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. On value alone, Cornelius makes the weekend a net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Their trades came out a wash either way.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They reached a country mile for Jalen Milroe at No. 66, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good price on Darien Porter in slot 83, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They went early on Brashard Smith in pick 123, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant is a better player than the 156th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They let Ajani Cornelius come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shemar James
A conviction pick on Shemar James at No. 229 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
