Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Thomas. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nathan Thomas, the No. 208 name on the board, stolen at slot 238. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Trotter Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 20th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
The board had Jaden Hicks higher than the Round 3 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at Round 4, Pick 20 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mekhi Wingo at pick 121 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 197 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Circle this one: Nathan Thomas at the 238th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
