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

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent Round 2, Pick 20 on Zach Frazier while edge rusher, running back and other spots sat unaddressed. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Melton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 52nd pick on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A clean, defensible pick in the 121st overall pick with a little surplus value in Tyrice Knight. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in No. 198. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
