Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Joe Milton III, 88 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Melton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in pick No. 51. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in slot 84. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beaux Limmer. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 89 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Melton
They barely believed it either: Max Melton still on the board at the 90th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Good price on Jonah Elliss in the 91st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 James Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 94 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A real head-scratcher, Brenden Rice in pick No. 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at pick 119, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A quiet steal in the 120th overall pick: Spencer Rattler for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at slot 128, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at pick No. 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in No. 144, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They did well to land Luke McCaffrey in the 157th pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Fair-plus on Trevor Keegan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
