Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Khristian Boyd at slot 119 regardless, 68 picks early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In the 29th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zach Frazier this early at the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 61 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Andru Phillips at pick 71, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A curious use of the 98th overall pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Roger Rosengarten did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in the 178th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They reached into another round for Julian Pearl, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
