Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hollin Pierce; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at the Round 3 slot.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milroe. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at pick No. 83, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at Round 4, Pick 21 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They liked Jaylen Reed enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 163. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
The board had cheaper options than Jake Briningstool at the 225th overall pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevor Etienne at the 231st overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 247 with a little surplus value in Brandon Adams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
