Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
Milton III should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in slot 198 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Joe Milton III, the No. 164 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Randolph Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 22 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 52 on Jordan Morgan with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the 84th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They talked themselves into Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the 119th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keith Randolph Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Somehow Joe Milton III was still sitting there in pick 198, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Jha'Quan Jackson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 21. The roster fit checks out.
