Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Smith: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Steelers walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in pick 51; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at the 84th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 98th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in pick No. 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 138th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 6, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in No. 195, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
