Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Khristian Boyd, taking him 68 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

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. The Phillips steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 24 they get a building block for the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Zach Frazier in the 51st pick leaves quarterback, safety and other spots for later.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They talked themselves into Jalen McMillan at pick 84, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 24, where Andru Phillips graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 98 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
A real head-scratcher, Khristian Boyd in the 119th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at No. 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
They went early on Jalen Coker in the 195th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
