Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending pick 51 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A curious use of slot 51. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Zach Frazier did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick 98 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
