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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zach Frazier in pick 28, a good 34 spots before the room expected him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. 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.

If JC Latham and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in pick 119 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
