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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Paul pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. Paul has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The McMillan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 28 they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Patrick Paul, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 60th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at No. 84 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 119 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A want over a need in pick No. 128: Matt Goncalves adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick178 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 178th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 195 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
