Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesC+
FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Josh Proctor, 58 picks early at the Round 7 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Steelers indulged a want in Tampa while a need in interior defensive lineman and running back stayed open.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A want over a need in slot 57: T.J. Tampa adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman and running back keeps waiting.
Pick67
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in pick 67, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in the 87th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A curious use of No. 104. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; a defensive back in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 4, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Luke Lachey
They reached a country mile for Luke Lachey at the 123rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 150 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 160th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick169
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at No. 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jestin Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Jestin Jacobs in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd6
Jalen Milroe
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Milroe in Round 6, Pick 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at pick No. 244, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
