Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Tracy Jr.: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tyrone Tracy Jr. tumbling to the Steelers in No. 238 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Powers-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 20 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 4 on Jackson Powers-Johnson with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in the 84th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to No. 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at pick No. 121, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They robbed the room for Tyrone Tracy Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
