Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Joe Milton III at pick No. 122. The Steelers jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. With safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Antoine Winfield Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sedrick Van Pran while clear needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Khyree Jackson in slot 84 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at pick No. 119 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
They took Johnny Dixon at par in pick 121, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 122nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 23 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at No. 241. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
