Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Zach Frazier at slot 80, a spot they had covered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Clark at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The Asante reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nothing to complain about; T.J. Tampa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to the 73rd pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 116th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at Round 6, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and De'Corian Clark at pick No. 227 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
A premium they did not need to pay, Eugene Asante a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
