Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The war room fell hard for Joe Milton III, and it showed at No. 119: 81 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

It is not that Glaze is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 51 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the 58th overall pick, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in No. 84 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
Value said wait; Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 98 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the 119th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Delmar Glaze
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Delmar Glaze in the Round 4 slot leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 5, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 178 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A big swing on Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
