Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Joe Milton III, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCormick. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in No. 61. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 62 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 98 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the 119th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in the 161st overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They will replay Mason McCormick at Round 5, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick178 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A reach for Delmar Glaze in pick No. 178; a little patience would have been rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garret Greenfield well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They paid a round early for Ryan Watts in slot 249, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
