Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Pearsall: A-.

When a board-topper like Ricky Pearsall slides to pick No. 237, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan is a better player than No. 60 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick96 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Value with a capital V on Rod Moore in Round 3, Pick 33, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at pick 121, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 143, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 194th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 237th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
