Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Joshua Cephus, the No. 230 name on the board, stolen at pick 251.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Rosemy-Jacksaint lower, and that gap is the story.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 53 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 85 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 120 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 121st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at pick 199. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
They paid a round early for David Ugwoegbu in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 251st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
