Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Keon Coleman got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at No. 88. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Gentry left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in slot 85, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 88th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 20 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 121 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
They went early on James Williams in pick 125, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 138 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick199 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
You do not let a quarterback like Joe Milton III reach Round 6, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett is a better player than the 204th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick No. 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
