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

The war room fell hard for Ainias Smith, and it showed at the 119th pick: 22 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while safety, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 84 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 98th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A wild overpay on Ainias Smith in Round 4, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Travis in pick No. 178. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 195th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
