Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on James: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: DJ James, the No. 113 name on the board, sitting there at pick 158 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in slot 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A safety of that caliber at pick 52 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Somehow Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was still sitting there in the 84th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson slipping to No. 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick120 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A reach for MarShawn Lloyd in the 120th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Isaiah Adams in Round 4, Pick 27 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick158 Rnd5 DJ James
DJ James in slot 158 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 186 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Knox
The board had Trey Knox higher than the 198th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at Round 6, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jalen Berger in pick No. 241, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 243 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
