Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Gabe Hall, 23 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 32 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 19 leaves tight end for later.
Pick84 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 84th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 95th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
No edge and no loss on Ainias Smith in pick 120; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in pick No. 158. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 172, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in the 197th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A reach on Taulia Tagovailoa in the 238th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
