Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Tez Johnson slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Nice patience on Tetairoa McMillan, who had no business lasting to No. 21. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick 55, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at the 83rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
A reach on Vernon Broughton in slot 122; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the 124th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 163rd overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They robbed the room for Logan Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 184 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in pick No. 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Steal is underselling it; Karene Reid at slot 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ja'Quinden Jackson in the 247th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
