Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jamaree Caldwell at pick 231 is 84 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Bryant makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at slot 52. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A quiet steal in No. 97: Devin Neal for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 163rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
They robbed the room for Cobee Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach the 247th pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
