Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Milum: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Wyatt Milum, pick 226, roughly 213 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
They let Will Johnson come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to pick No. 57, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at the 89th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cam Ward
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at pick 226. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233 Rnd7 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in No. 242, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
