Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Joe Milton III at slot 178. The Steelers jumped the board by 22 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Steelers indulged a want in Rosengarten while a need in safety, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the 84th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 98th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots to take Roger Rosengarten, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
