A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-. The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Sam Hartman, taking him 63 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The Trotter Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. It is not that Frazier is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick 20 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick53
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
They paid a round early for Brenden Rice in the 84th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in No. 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at No. 178. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in pick No. 195, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
