Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Joe Milton III, 81 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 51st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 119th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Roger Rosengarten while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in No. 156, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Harrell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Fair-plus on Trevin Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
