Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 27 picks early at Round 7, Pick 18. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dixon. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
No edge and no loss on Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A clean, defensible pick in the 121st overall pick with a little surplus value in Sataoa Laumea. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick 126 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
By-the-book stuff, Drake Nugent at No. 197 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at slot 203. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A big swing on Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 238, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
