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

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 51 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Liufau pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 84th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to slot 157. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in pick 178. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They took Myles Cole at par in No. 195, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
