Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed running back and tight end to take Beaux Limmer at No. 119, a spot they had covered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Orhorhoro to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Suamataia reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A conviction pick on Kingsley Suamataia at the 51st pick that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 78th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A tidy little value on Brandon Dorlus in Round 3, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They took Jalen McMillan at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A surprising call. With running back and tight end still to address, they spent pick 119 on Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 152 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at No. 195 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
