Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Khyree Jackson, the No. 95 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 19.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 20th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 19: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Taking Kamren Kinchens in slot 87 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board fumbled Khyree Jackson all the way to pick 119, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
By-the-book stuff, Jamari Thrash at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They paid sticker price for Myles Cole in pick No. 195, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
