Draft Grade — Steelers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with James Burnip at No. 123, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Burnip pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots.
On value alone, McMillan makes the weekend a net positive.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis

Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They paid a round early for Jalen Milroe in No. 83, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
James Burnip
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Burnip at specialist with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
