Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureD
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent No. 231 on Jaydon Blue, a name the board had a full 82 spots lower. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
A reach on Quinshon Judkins in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Billy Bowman Jr. in the 83rd pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brant Kuithe
Value said wait; Brant Kuithe in pick 163 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the 225th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at No. 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
