Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Nobody else had Joe Milton III anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Steelers did, by 22 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Paul steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 20 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board had Patrick Paul higher than the Round 3 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 119th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A big swing on Garret Greenfield at No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
