Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Milroe is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Brady Cook a full 105 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Jalen Milroe is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In pick No. 21 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 52nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 83 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in slot 122, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at pick No. 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
