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

Call it larceny. M.J. Devonshire sat on the board until the 238th overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

Reed has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the 120th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than slot 121 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 Austin Reed
Austin Reed in the 197th pick 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.
Pick238 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 238 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
