Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesC FutureB+
Milroe is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jay Higgins, the No. 57 name on the board, in No. 153. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Jalen Milroe is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In pick 26 they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 90 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach Round 4, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick No. 153 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They will replay Hunter Wohler at pick 238 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
