Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent pick 119 on Blake Fisher while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat unaddressed. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in the 51st pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They jumped the gun on Malik Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at pick 98, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in slot 119: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
