Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the 77th overall pick: the Steelers steal Rakestraw Jr. and grade out a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 77 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cost of the Pratt reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 27th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nice patience on Troy Fautanu, who had no business lasting to the 44th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in No. 52, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at pick No. 84 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They let Beau Brade come to them and pounced at slot 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 120th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They barely believed it either: Dillon Johnson still on the board at pick No. 138. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 4 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Taking Roger Rosengarten in the 197th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick198 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They did well to land Andrew Raym in pick 198, just ahead of his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
