Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Trice: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bralen Trice at pick No. 53 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Rosemy-Jacksaint reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 21 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 53 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. reach the 85th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value said wait; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in Round 4, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick199 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in No. 199; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at pick No. 242, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
