Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to solve and reached instead for Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman, at the Round 2 slot.

On value alone, Smith makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 51 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 84th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 98th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at pick 119, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They did well to land Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 195, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
