Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Steelers walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mickens pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 83rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 21 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Rivers. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at the 185th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
