Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Crenshaw-Dickson. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, the No. 196 name on the board, sitting there at slot 229 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Giddens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Darius Alexander at pick 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They paid a round early for DJ Giddens in slot 156, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Upton Stout
No drama and no debate, Upton Stout went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 229th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
