Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had quarterback, safety and other spots to solve and reached instead for Roger Rosengarten, an offensive lineman, at No. 119. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Jacobs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick85 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid a round early for Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 22, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They went early on Maason Smith in No. 98, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Roger Rosengarten, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick156 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A tidy little value on Luke McCaffrey in the 156th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 178th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A reasonable price with a little left over, M.J. Devonshire in pick 195. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nothing to complain about; Edefuan Ulofoshio went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
