Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Josh Proctor went at the 178th pick, a good 66 picks before the board was ready.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Fisher is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 20th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in pick No. 98; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in No. 119 leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick178 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
