Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at the 178th pick regardless, 31 picks early.

On value alone, Sweat makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 20th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Somehow T'Vondre Sweat was still sitting there in pick 84, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A reach on Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 35; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at No. 119 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 178th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They read the board right and Jordan Whittington was the payoff at slot 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
