Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Trevin Wallace a full 55 spots early.

That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 20th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in pick No. 119, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They went early on Jaylen Harrell in slot 195, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
