Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Milum should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in slot 245 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 21 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in Round 3, Pick 19 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach the 162nd pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 223 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Amos
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to pick No. 229, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Wyatt Milum in pick 245, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
