Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers found their guy under center in Milroe: B-.

Nobody else had Jalen Milroe anywhere near slot 30. The Steelers did, by 64 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They have staked the next five years on Jalen Milroe, which is the only story that really matters here. Landing Ransom that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In the 30th pick they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They let Kaleb Johnson come to them and pounced at pick 62. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in the 83rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in No. 123 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at slot 156 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Nothing to complain about; Jack Nelson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They did well to land Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
