Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureC+
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot, a good 22 spots before the room expected him.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with safety, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They banked enough surplus on Murphy to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 51 on Zach Frazier with safety, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in the 55th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 35, with Kris Abrams-Draine worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick No. 119 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick 178, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at Round 6, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
