Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C+ to match.

Some picks age like wine; Khristian Boyd at slot 119 will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade.

The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy bit of business in the 84th overall pick, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
By-the-book stuff, Jalen McMillan at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in pick No. 119, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in slot 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A big swing on Trevin Wallace at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
