Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Byrum Brown, 242 picks ahead of schedule. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cole. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

So much rides on Jaylen McClain that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jaylen McClain
In the 28th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Carr
You do not let a quarterback like CJ Carr reach pick 60 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Chris Cole
The board fumbled Chris Cole all the way to the 76th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brandon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones in No. 149 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Antwan Raymond
A big swing on Antwan Raymond at slot 192, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Byrum Brown
Byrum Brown at pick 207 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
A wild overpay on Marquis Johnson in pick No. 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Quintavius Johnson
Quintavius Johnson in the 249th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
