Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Steelers walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every board in the league had Leary lower, and that gap is the story.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 23rd pick they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 52nd overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The board had Junior Colson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in No. 111, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 19. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
They took Dillon Johnson at par in slot 120, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 169 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Nice patience on Javon Baker, who had no business lasting to pick 191. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 198th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
They paid up for Zakhari Franklin at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They jumped the gun on Trevor Keegan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 229 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary in the 241st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
