Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zion Logue, 30 picks early at Round 7, Pick 36. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Suamataia pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 51 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 98th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick 131 with a little surplus value in James Williams. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 33, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They jumped the gun on Tahj Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Nothing to complain about; M.J. Devonshire went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in slot 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
