Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Steelers let Milroe fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jalen Milroe slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 30. Highway robbery.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 21 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Circle this one: Jalen Milroe at pick No. 132 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They went early on Cobee Bryant in the 162nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 169th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in Round 5, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at No. 223, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 229th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Somehow Carson Vinson was still sitting there in slot 245, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
