Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Brownlee Jr.: B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. fell into Round 5, Pick 35. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Eguakun to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the 54th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They read the board right and Jaden Hicks was the payoff at slot 120. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at No. 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take De'Corian Clark this early at Round 5, Pick 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick No. 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slid further than he should have, and the 172nd overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Value said wait; Kingsley Eguakun in slot 178 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
