Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Joe Milton III; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at the 120th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They did well to land Nate Wiggins in the 20th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at pick 119, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 120 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
A big swing on Brian Ugwu at Round 6, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A reach for Walter Rouse in pick No. 241; a little patience would have been rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
