Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Johnny Dixon, the No. 181 name on the board, sitting there at pick 238 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Milton III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Matt Goncalves while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 20: Javon Foster adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in the 121st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 164th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in slot 197 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
