Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Sam Hartman a full 64 spots early.

It is not that Fisher is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in slot 51, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still to address, they spent No. 98 on Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at pick No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
