Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D.

The war room fell hard for Joe Milton III, and it showed at No. 137: 62 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Rosemy-Jacksaint to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 32 they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the 51st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at pick 84 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 32 with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They let Cole Bishop come to them and pounced at the 118th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones is a better player than the 161st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
The board had Caedan Wallace higher than slot 194, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
