Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Luke McCaffrey at No. 119 regardless, 30 picks early.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in pick 51; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
The board had cheaper options than Jalen McMillan at No. 84, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 98 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 119th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in the 178th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in the 195th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
