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

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Roger Rosengarten at slot 98, a spot they had covered.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Ford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Brade pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Burton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Roger Rosengarten while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at pick No. 119, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They read the board right and Beau Brade was the payoff at pick 174. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 178 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A wild overpay on Jaylan Ford in the 195th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
A tidy little value on Julian Pearl in the 233rd pick, a step better than break-even. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
