Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Emery Jones Jr. slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 123 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at the 156th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Giddens in the 185th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 229. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
