Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Chad Lindberg, 88 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. It is not that DeJean is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. McMillan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the 23rd overall pick on Cooper DeJean, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick48 Rnd2 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in No. 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
They reached a country mile for Shilo Sanders at slot 113, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
The board had Jalen McMillan higher than pick No. 123, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They did well to land Spencer Rattler in the 126th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
They talked themselves into Jalen Catalon at the 201st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick244 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
A real head-scratcher, Chad Lindberg in pick 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fair-plus on Fentrell Cypress II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
